libmcrypt

[Saeven]

Hello,

I am using slackware 9, and have both the libmcrypt and php 4.2.2 packages installed on my machine. I would like to enable php --with-mcrypt. How do I do this using the packages? Is there a module line I can add or something?

Help appreciated!

it looks like you will have to recompile php otherwise you could upgrade to 2.2.3 and while you are compiling you will come to the configure part use something like this:

download the lastest version of php into your /usr/local/src directory.
in shell type:

tar -xzf php-4.x.x.tar.gz

change into the php directory

cd php-4.x.x

now for the configuring

in shell type this:
./configure \
--with-mcrypt

you may need to do some more configure options i dont know
you must compile mcrypt with the --disable-posix-threads configure option
only prob is i dont know what you compile first ^_
