The issue is that you have no proj library installed, and also do not have
shapelib/shapelib-dev installed and so the build system is attempting to 
build internal shapelib *and* all the "contrib" programs of internal shapelib.  

Unfortunately, the internal shapelib is not set up to build properly without
the proj.4 library.  Fixing this is not difficult, but nobody's done it yet. 

You have two choices to work around it:  install the proj.4 library and its
development headers so that internal shapelib builds properly, or install
your package management system's version of shapelib and its headers so that
our internal one doesn't get built.
