Description:
------------
When configuring fileinfo from pear, it does not find libmagic.
The problems is located here : in config.m4

  SEARCH_PATH="/usr/local /usr /usr/share/file"

It is NOT possible to have libmagic installed else where in the system.

The lib should be searched using CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS not in hard coded path.

It is possible to let configure script know path to your libmagic installation. 
Try to perform the following operations:

tar xvfz Fileinfo-1.0.3.tgz
cd Fileinfo-1.0.3
phpize
./configure --with-fileinfo=/path/to/libmagic/installation/
make install

/path/to/libmagic/installation/ should have include/magic.h file

Use --with-fileinfo=/path/to/lib
