What do you mean "trying to use shapelib.dll in a Pocket PC" ?
Have you rebuild Shapelib to DLL using eVC++ 4.0 or Visual C++ 2005
compiler _for_Smart_Mobile_devices_?
Note, that the DLL available to download on the Shapelib website
*won't* work because of different architectures and binary
incompatibility, and many other low-level 'things'.

So, here is the procedure in very short:
1. download Shapelib sources
2. create DLL project file for Pocket PC using Visual C++
or eVC++ 4.0
3. add sources to the project file (3-4 files)
4. build shapelib dll
5. use it in your .NET CF application using P/Invoke

Here you have my package with the only Shapelib files
required to build it for Windows CE platforms:
