ea fails compiling fileinfo

[Op4]

Basically trying to install owncloud and its saying it needs:

Module 'fileinfo' missing
The PHP module 'fileinfo' is missing. We strongly recommend to enable this module to get best results with mime-type detection.

When trying to run EA to install this I get the following error:

r.c -o ext/fileinfo/libmagic/is_tar.lo
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
make: *** [ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
!! 'make -j2' failed with exit code '512' !!

its a cloud based instance, I bumped overall instance mem from 1G to 2G then to 4G still gives the above error.

cat /etc/redhat-release

Home »Server Configuration »Tweak Settings > system
reset Max cPanel process memory (minimum: 256) from 256 to unlimited, rerunning ea now:

see initial ulimit from ea

The PHP fileinfo extension uses up to 1gb of memory to compile (see here).
