how to enable mcrypt.lib?

[khoonking]

I am using php4.3.3 which was downloaded from the php website.
I have modified the php.ini to enable the php_mcrypt.lib
and set the extension dir to c:\php\extensions.

However, it always prompt
Unknown(): unable to load dynamic library c:\php\extension\php_mcrypr.dll- The specific module could not be loaded.

I have checked my php dir and the file is present.

Must I recompile the php source code to support mcrypt.lib.
Anyway of using it without recompiling the source code.
thansk.

Anyhelp?

most of the time if you want to use something like mcrypt, gzip, php has to be compiled to use it, so i would try and compile php with mcrypt support and work the problem out from there
