I'm out of ideas here, as I said I don't have a clue about the MAC, so
are you trying to install a source
code, with 
./configure
make
make install

So when you got /sw/src/audiofile-0.2.1-2 Then I would suggest building
from here.

Otherwise, I think if you installing from source, try to unpack the
source code archive again,

with gzip -dc audiofile-0.2.1-2.tar.gz | tar xvf -

or tar xvzf audiofile-0.2.1-2.tar.gz

then do:

cd audiofile-0.2.1-2

./configure
make
make install

Alternatively, You could run ./configure with the paramaters 
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--mandir=/usr/share/man

This will cause that your files are generally beeing installed in the
/usr tree.
Configuration files will be installed in /etc
log files and pid files will be installed under /var
and the man pages will be installed under /usr/share/man

Hope that helps, Otherwise I'm out of ideas, sorry :-(
