Re: libmcrypt install probs (Long - Repost Again)

If you haven't tried php-install@lists.php.net yet, that's a better place for this... > configure says: checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no > configure says: checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... yes If your configure output does not have this same no/yes dichotomy, you have a different problem than this one, so can ignore the solution. > init_mcrypt is found this time because conftest is linked against -lkaffevm. > > mcrypt_module_open is found again because conftest is linked against > -lkaffevm and -lltdl. > > To get conftest to build in both cases you must always link against -lltdl > when compiling with -lmcrypt. This solves the first problem of determining > when init_mcrypt and mcrypt_module_open are available. The second problem is > with the algorithm.

My solution was to change configure > to always link against -lltdl for the mcrypt tests and to decide that you > have 2.2 only when init_mcrypt is found and mcrypt_module_open is not. Try editing configure.in (?)... Make a backup copy first. Dig around for these things he's talking about, and changing them around to have -lltdl instead of (in addition to?) -lkaffevm. > PS - On the site for libmcrypt there is also mcrypt-2.5.5 and other > versions. Do I need to install this as well as libmcrypt? The READMEs do not > seem to indicate this but I thought that I'd make sure. I dunno. Download it and try, I guess...
