ID: 65773 Updated by: ahar...@php.net Reported by: vivek at csillamvilag dot com Summary: Unable to install mcrypt -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: mcrypt related Operating System: CentOS 6.4 PHP Version: 5.5.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Your mcrypt.so is incompatible with your libc, which suggests that it wasn't built on the same system as you're trying to install it on. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-09-27 11:50:59] vivek at csillamvilag dot com Description: ------------ Installation of mcrypts crashes, ostensibly due to unavailability of glibc 2.14 CentOS ships with glibc 2.12 and PHP 5.3.3 Has mcrypt or libmcrypt changed so much since PHP 5.3.3 that there is a dependency on glibc 2.14? If so, this dependency is not mentioned anywhere in documentation. mcrypt's only mentioned dependency is as below http://www.php.net/manual/en/mcrypt.requirements.php PHP mcrypt module requires libmcrypt 2.5.6 or later Test script: --------------- We have tried the following methods, 1. Re configured PHP using option --with-mcrypt 2. Make install from directory /usr/local/src/php-5.5.4/ext/mcrypt 3. yum install php-mcrypt 4. Manually installing the extension using /usr/local/src/php-mcrypt-5.5.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Expected result: ---------------- The latest version of CentOS, i.e. 6.4 ships with glibc 2.12 I would expect to be able to install mcrypt with glibc 2.12 Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/mcrypt.so' - /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non- zts-20121212/mcrypt.so) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65773&edit=1
