Description:
------------
This is less of a bug report and more of a workaround notification work OSX users. If you happen to be one of the many libmagic error receivers, try the following as root (you  also need to have fink installed):

1. fink install file-shlibs
2. fink install file-dev
3. cp /sw/include/magic.h /usr/include
4. cp /sw/lib/libmagic.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib
5. ln -s /usr/lib/libmagic.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib/libmagic.dylib

The above steps worked fine for me and hopefully someone else finds them usefull.

Followed your steps, but still getting "ERROR: `phpize' failed" when I ran "sudo pear -v install pecl/fileinfo".

I tried to install it manually:

> cd /private/tmp/pear/download/Fileinfo-1.0.4
> sudo ./configure
> sudo phpize

After running above command, everything seems find, but still no fileinfo.so.


Have I miss out anything there?
Is there a way to install fileinfo manually?

After running the sudo ./configure line, did you do your make and make install? If not, try running (in that same directory):

sudo make; sudo make install

Setting this one to bogus because no fileinfo bug is in there ...
