Unless you *really* know what you are doing, you should always
install the package provided by your distribution instead of
compiling it yourself.

Did you read the INSTALL file?
It will tell you to do something like:
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you don't compile packages from source regularly you will almost
certainly be missing required build tools or dependancies.
Try installing this thing from a package.

You have separate 'file' executables in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.
This will usually result in confusion.
