OK, not directly helpful.  I checked the configure script and it's
looking for

      if test -r $i/include/magic.h || test -r $i/magic.h; then
        FILEINFO_DIR=$i
        AC_MSG_RESULT(found in $i)
        break
 
a header file.  5.3 did not install this header (5.4 does), so you can
either upgrade to 5.4 (may be necessary to avoid further problems
later), or try copying /usr/src/contrib/file/magic.h to
/usr/include/magic.h and see if it works.
