ld: library not found for -lmagic

Can you do a brew update and see if it still happens? Zathura has a dependency set on libmagic, I would not expect to see these kind of issues.

Can you also check if libmagic was installed correctly?
And maybe run a brew doctor just to see if no pointers pop up in there.

I ran brew update and then brew install zathura. Zathura installs, but I get these warnings:

When I try to run Zathura I get these errors:
2016-08-22 19:59:07.683 zathura[43948:5714517] *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.
error: could not open plugin directory: /usr/local/Cellar/zathura/0.3.6/lib/zathura
error: Unknown file type: 'application/pdf'

The path /usr/local/Cellar/zathura/0.3.6/lib/zathura is not created by the formula. I think the other errors are from zathura itself.

Ok, the deprecation warnings are nothing to worry about (yet).
Did you install the poppler-pdf plugin? Zathura on its own is just a viewer, it needs a specific implementation to decode pdfs in this case.
