It appears to be looking for the libmagic.so.1 file. I have that file. It is located in /usr/lib64. I am not running this installation as the root user.
I am also using rvm and Bundler. This is the result of my "bundle" command, when it gets to the ruby-filemagic line in my Gemfile:
[server@mine ext]$ ruby extconf.rb --with-magiclib
checking for magic_open() in -ltrue... no
*** ERROR: missing required library to compile this module
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
UPDATE:
Here are the results of the mkmf.log:
have_library: checking for magic_open() in -ltrue... -------------------- no

I can't figure out what to do to make this work.
I needed to do:
yum install file-devel
That apparently contains the libmagic header files that the filemagic ruby gem required in order to compile. It worked like a champ after that.
