#41254 [Com]: 64bit libmcrypt not found after bug #39935 fixed

ID: 41254 Comment by: judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com Reported By: jason at ionzoft dot com Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: RedHat ES 4 PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment: My patch is correct, linux distributions on x86_64 are usually biarch, /usr/lib contains 32 bit libraries and /usr/lib64 64 bit ones. If you wrongly installed a 64 bit libmcrypt in /usr/lib you need to recompile it to install shared libraries in the proper location.. if your linux distribution is pure 64 bit, then libmcrypt may be installed in /usr/lib and php should be compiled --with-libdir=lib as all system libraries will reside there in that case.. This is not a PHP problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-01 16:54:53] jason at ionzoft dot com Description: ------------ This is not a bug. It is documentation of a problem encountered when using libmcrypt on 64 bit machines and upgrading PHP to 5.2.1. --------------------------------------- In reference to Bug #39935 (extensions tidy,mcrypt,mhash,pdo_sqlite ignores --with-libdir), I have encountered an error post-compile. Previously, mcrypt ignored --with-libdir, and naturally looked in /usr/local/lib for libmcrtpy.so.4. After bug #39935 was fixed, libmcrypt began to look in the right place (which I have specified as /lib64 on 64 bit machines). A potential solution is to compile libmcrypt with --libdir=/lib64. It took a lot of hunting to find this answer, and perhaps there is a place that this information could be posted. Thanks.
