While building the File-4.13 package i got
error that "cannot find zlib.h "
I have reinstalled the zlib package but i get the same error.
I have also applied the patch for File-4.13.

Strange it should look for it in /usr/include thats where the file should be.

What I notice is that if you use cflags you can get problems.
Unset them with the following command.

Code:

export CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686" &&
    CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS

and rebuild zlib and then retry file again.

Hope it works for you then...
A quote.

Zlib is known to build its shared library incorrectly if CFLAGS is specified in the environment. If using a specified CFLAGS variable, be sure to add the -fPIC directive to the CFLAGS variable for the duration of the configure command below, then remove it afterwards.
