[Bro] Can't load magic file <default> on CentOS 5

[Knick, Scott E CTR USARMY RCERT-EUR (US)]

I've managed to build Bro on CentOS 5 successfully after a bit of work to get needed dependencies in place, but I can't seem to get around an issue where Bro complains about not being able to find any valid magic files when it starts. I get this error:

internal error: can't load magic file <default>: could not find any valid magic files!

I have my Bro executable installed to /opt/dcod/bin with all of the magic files from Bro in /opt/dcod/share/bro/magic (e.g., /opt/dcod/share/bro/magic/animation, /opt/dcod/share/bro/magic/archive, etc.). Permissions are fine. The "libmagic mime magic database search path" is set to /opt/dcod/share/bro/magic (Bro has actually been built with that path in it, but I've also set the BROMAGIC environment variable to the same for the hell of it to no avail).

Any ideas? Is the search path for libmagic set correctly? I've been fighting with this problem for quite a while now.
