Can anyone advise please With so many "magic" packages I am uncertain which packages to reinstall when I get the following error in # cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.
dns1# make config . . . dns1# make ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> Found saved configuration for php5-extensions-1.0 ===> Extracting for php5-extensions-1.0 ===> Patching for php5-extensions-1.0 ===> Configuring for php5-extensions-1.0 dns1# make install ===> Installing for php5-extensions-1.0 . . . checking for fileinfo support... yes, shared checking for magic files in default path... not found configure: error: Please reinstall the libmagic distribution /* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ */ /* *******************************************/ ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [maintainer] and attach the "/usr/ports/sysutils/pecl-fileinfo/work/Fileinfo-1.0/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/pecl-fileinfo. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions. \************************************* I have made the detailed report, as requested, to the maintainer but would like to be sure that I am using the correct port for libmagic. The error report indicates absense of libmagic but: dns1# pwd /usr/lib dns1# ls -l | grep magic -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 65030 Nov 4 2004 libmagic.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Apr 28 2004 libmagic.so -> libmagic.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 52848 Nov 4 2004 libmagic.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 66438 Nov 4 2004 libmagic_p.a Comments appreciated Thanks davdi -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
