PHP PECL Extension Installation Failure

[John P]

I am attempting to install the fileinfo extension on an Apple Mac OSX 10.5
under MacPorts. I have php5 installed along with the php5-pear package.
Running the command pecl install fileinfo results in the following output:

Macintosh:~ root# pecl install fileinfo

I have tried reinstalling the libmagic package but this makes no difference.
Further investigation of the configure script reveals that a header file
(magic.h) is missing. The configure script expects magic.h to be in any one
of the /usr, /usr/share/file, or /usr/local directories, which it is not.
Having found magic.h in the /opt/local/include directory, I have tried
copying it to the /usr, /usr/share/file and /usr/local directories, but this
only results in a slightly different error:

Any ideas on what I can do or where I should look to resolve this issue? Any
help would be appreciated.
