I’m trying to install FileMagic on Ubuntu. I’ve done this a number of
times on OS X (swapping out apt-get for macports) like so:
$ apt-get install file
$ curl -O http://grub.ath.cx/filemagic/ruby-filemagic-0.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf ruby-filemagic-0.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd ruby-filemagic-0.1.1.tar.gz
$ ruby extconf.rb
Then make & make install. I can’t seem to manage on Ubuntu though. The
error I’m getting during extconf is:
checking for magic_open() in -lmagic… no
*** ERROR: missing required library to compile this module
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Can anyone help?
