[Magic-dev] installation problem

Dear Isabelle,

I learned French before the Internet age, but I did manage to translate
"no such file or folder".  The path to header files declared in quotes
(like #include "utils/magic.h") must be relative to some "-I <directory>"
passed to the compiler.  In magic, this is done in the file "defs.mak"
in the definition "CPPFLAGS =".  This normally says

	CPPFLAGS = -I. -I${MAGICDIR}

Change "${MAGICDIR}" to the full path of the top-level source
directory, and I think it should compile properly.

Alternately, it may be that the problem is caused by using "sudo", and
you may get better results by simply doing "make".
