From the commands you give you imply that libmcrypt is not needed. Are you sure? The configure command you give does not work. Here's the complete error: [root@host110 mcrypt-2.6.3]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mcrypt [delete configure messages ...] checking for libmcrypt - version >= 2.5.0... no *** Could not run libmcrypt test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run.
