This is the method we use
First ensure that /usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf
and run ldconfig
wget ftp://argeas.cs-net.gr/pub/unix/mcrypt/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-2.4.9.tar.gz
tar -pxzf libmcrypt-2.4.9.tar.gz
cd libmcrypt-2.4.9
./configure --disable-posix-threads
make
make install
#
# http://mhash.sourceforge.net/
# http://mhash.sourceforge.net/dl/mhash-0.8.3.tar.gz
wget http://mhash.sourceforge.net/dl/mhash-0.8.9.tar.gz
tar -pxzf mhash-0.8.9.tar.gz
cd mhash-0.8.9
./configure
make
make install
wget ftp://argeas.cs-net.gr/pub/unix/mcrypt/mcrypt-2.5.5.tar.gz
tar -pxzf mcrypt-2.5.5.tar.gz
cd mcrypt-2.5.5
./configure
make
make install
cp /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt.* /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmhash.so.2 /usr/lib/libmhash.so.2
If you have any problems at each install rerun ldconfig to be sure it finds
any files it needs
Then with PHP we use :-
with-mcrypt=/usr/local --with-mhash=/usr/local
Fingers crossed :)
