Today I was trying to install fileinfo on a server and get this error.
checking for magic files in default path… not found
configure: error: Please reinstall the libmagic distribution
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/download/Fileinfo-1.0.4/configure’ failed
After i try to install yum install libmagic , libmagic-dev , libmagic-devel and see don’t work the panic was here. After a long search I discover that the solution was to install
yum install file-devel
So if you are on same situation hope this will help you .
Regards
