configure fails to find the latest versoin, 3.8, of `file'. This version 3.8 of `file' is not even available in the official Arch packages. Is it possible to build with an earlier version of `file'?

File version 3.8 was released about a month ago.

pacman's configure.ac does not require file 5.38 to be installed. It merely checks that file of some version is installed, and then sets an option depending on whether the version is at least 5.38 Can you post the exact failure message you are seeing? -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
