Actually it is nothing to serious, the jumping point why this fails is
this line

cd: no such file or directory: /sw/src/root-audiofile-0.2.1-2/sw/lib

So check if there is a directory /sw/src/root-audiofile-0.2.1-2/sw/lib

Further more it seemes there is a bug in the make install script, when
trying to link the file

ln -s libaudiofile.0.dylib libaudiofile-0.2.0.dylib

I assume that file that should be linked is "libaudiofile-0.2.0.dylib"
in that case it should be called like this

ln -s libaudiofile-0.2.0.dylib libaudiofile.0.dylib

You said you are actually Unix newbie, but if you like expierementing,
use a text editor and search 
in the files you find in /sw/src/root-audiofile-0.2.1-2/  for the lines
ln -s libaudiofile.0.dylib libaudiofile-0.2.0.dylib

and replace them with the line

ln -s libaudiofile-0.2.0.dylib libaudiofile.0.dylib

Sorry that I could not provide you with the details in which file you'll
find this entry. This has to be told by another one,
who is more expertised.
