PHP 4.0 Bug #6924: won't compile with libmcrypt 2.2.7 nor libmcrypt 2.4.4

From: jasonc@webpipe.net Operating system: Redhat 6.2 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: won't compile with libmcrypt 2.2.7 nor libmcrypt 2.4.4 I just installed libmcrypt 2.2.7 with --prefix=/usr/local/mcrypt The php configure line is: ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf --enable-magic-quotes --enable-ftp --with-gd=/usr/local/gd/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/gd/ --with-ttf=/usr/local/gd/ --with-imap=/usr/local/imap/ --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt/ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/ --enable-trans-sid The configure fails: checking for mcrypt support... yes checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no configure: error: Sorry This is the exact same case with libmcrypt 2.4.4. We have multiple Redhat servers and this is the case with all of them. PHP4.0.1pl2 compiles just fine on all servers though. Jason
