Hi Katrina, the error message below is actually pretty explicit. Have you installed the PROJ.4 library? If not, then you need to install it. When I had to do this I think that I used macports:
sudo port install proj Then you need to tell configure where to find it, using the protocol suggested below. I hope that this helps.
