Hi there!
The same problem for me :-( It's impossible to install Fileinfo. Always the same make error.

My system:
Debian Woody
PHP 4.3.10

Hope, there would be a solution as soon as possible...

Thanks for your help!

You can find the solution here: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3597

Greetings,
Christoph

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
