RE: [PHP-INST] LibMcrypt Linking Problem

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 :) Darren > -----Original Message----- > From: John Peebles [mailto:nemesisJ@softhome.net] > Sent: 11 July 2001 17:43 > To: php-install@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-INST] LibMcrypt Linking Problem > > > Hi everyone, > I am trying to recompile php with mcrypt and I downloaded > libmcrypt, and > ran the configure script, did a make, a make test (no errors), and a make > install.
