How do you upgrade mac version 10.5.8 to lion?

You have Leopard which is (10.5.8). One of the requirements for installing Lion is that you already have Snow Leopard (OSx 10.6) or later installed. The main reason is that Lion is available only via the Mac App Store, and the Mac App Store debuted in Mac OSx Snow Leopard (10.6.6). In other words, you need Snow Leopard just to purchase and download Lion. So you are going to have to purchase and install Snow Leopard before you can proceed to purchase and install Lion. If you bought your Mac at a retail store then go back and ask them for a free updrade to Snow Leopard. They may just give it to you for free if you agree to purchase Lion which should cost you around $20. Does not hurt to ask. If you purchased it online then contact Apple for the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
