Cannot install mcrypt (php-4.0.1pl2 solaris SPARC)

[Anon]

I was to use DES encrypt algorithm for some purpose. So, I decided to use encryption feature in PHP.
But when I install some version of libmcrypt with php, it doesn't compile. It reports to me that some symbols cannot be found.
Thanks to others help, I can compile with libmcrypt-2.2.6 well.
But when I install the module of php and try to start apache, it reports to me that '__eprintf' cannot be found.

What can I do with that?
Is there anyone can help me ?

Sun Enterprise 5000, SPARC Solaris 2.6

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, PHP's mcrypt/libmcrypt extension isn't in sync with the latest mcrypt software. You need to use an older version of libmcrypt, probably the libmcrypt 2.2 generation.

There may also be issues with threads-support. See if there is a README about the subject in your libmcrypt or mcrypt software distribution.

Yes, I know. So I tried libmcrypt-2.2.6, 2.2.7 but in vain.
Of course I've compiled libmcrypt with --disable-posix-threads.

But I think it won't help resolving __eprintf symbol. Don't you think so ?

Have you had any luck with your problem? I'm getting the same thing:

/opt/apache/bin/apachectl configtest

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __eprintf (code) from /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt.sl.2
Syntax error on line 239 of /opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/apache/libexec/libphp3.so into server: Unresolved external
#

I run it on hpux 10.20 server with apache 1.3.12 and php v. 3..

Thanks,
