note 52030 added to ref.mime-magic

If you're going to install the fileinfo pecl package in a RedHat Linux 9.0 the installation will fail because the needed libmagic files are not installed by default. They are part of the 'file' package. Even if you have file-3.39-9.rpm it doesn't provide the libraries. You can obtain the original author's latest version of 'file' by anonymous FTP on ftp.astron.com in the directory /pub/file/file-X.YY.tar.gz. Just extract, compile and install it in /usr/local (its default location) and you can proceed with fileinfo installation. a big hug, bruno negrão. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52030 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52030&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52030&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52030&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52030&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52030&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52030&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
