libmagic

[Aaron Siegel]

 I am still a beginner but my best guess after reading the config.log is the 
libmagic is not working properly.  I am running  FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Sun 
Feb 27 10:19:56 MST 2005.  The port devel/ruby-filemagic is reporting the 
same error.  A developer from the yzis project was able to compile with the 
lastest version of FreeBSD. I am going to try upgrading, see if that works.

Part of the config.log and output of ldconfig are posted bellow

Thank you

Aaron
