I have tried to install php fileinfo extension in Ubuntu(15.10) and getting errors:

sudo pecl install fileinfo

Error:

WARNING: "pear/Fileinfo" is deprecated in favor of "channel://php-src/ext/fileinfo/in php sources"
WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pear.php.net" to update

.....done: 5,835 bytes

Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module

If the command failed with 'phpize: not found' then you need to install php5-dev packageYou can do it by running 'apt-get install php5-dev' as a root userERROR: `phpize' failed

and then I tried this command:

sudo apt-get install php5-dev

Output:

php5-dev is already the newest version.
