file a.txt file: could not find any valid magic files! (EDC5129I No such file or directory.)

I'm getting this on the zopen installed file. It looks like the build install location is baked in:

file a.txt
file: could not find any valid magic files! (EDC5129I No such file or directory.)

file -v
file-5.46
magic file from /data/zopen/usr/local/zopen/file/file-5.46/share/misc/magic

I believe we can use the MAGIC environment variable in a similar way to https://github.com/zopencommunity/gitport/blob/main/buildenv#L169
