Hi,
Do I need another package other than libmagic-dev ?
Linking CXX executable bro

What version of Bro is this you're building? As of 2.3 we don't use libmagic anymore.

I see where the libmagic version 5.16 was manually added to the build:
https://github.com/bro/bro/commit/c48c5316299898d05533ee9f5b0273b575391a1f
Then at a later point this was removed.
Ubuntu 14.04 currently uses: libmagic-dev:amd64 1:5.14-2ubuntu3.2
Any insight appreciated .

Yes, IIRC, this method of integrating libmagic never made it in to a release version of Bro, so it’s probably not something you need to worry about.

If you are using a version of Bro older than 2.3, that libmagic-dev should work fine — at least I don’t have a problem with it when compiling Bro 2.2.
As mentioned, Bro 2.3 and later won’t require libmagic, so if you can use that instead, it would sidestep whatever your issue is. Else, we’ll need more details: best if you can give step-by-step instructions to reproduce your problem, including which Bro version and any non-default configuration flags used.
