php4.0.4pl1 + mcrypt2.5.5

Anon

Hi,

I've been through some interesting scenarios trying to get PHP and Mcrypt to work together in the past, but i usually figure out the quirks and it works out fine. I am performing a new build using RH 7.0, php4.0.4pl1, mcrypt2.5.5, and libmcrypt2.4.9 and i am having problems running ./configure. I usually receive some sort of description of what the error is, but this time, i keep getting the follwing:

checking for mcrypt support... yes
checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no
checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no
configure: error: Sorry
[root@websmith php-4.0.4pl1]#

'Sorry' is not helping me to find the problem. I used --disable-posix-threads and all that jazz, and I can interface w/ mcrypt from Perl so i am pretty sure the problem is w/ php (or maybe RH 7?).

I tried to configure --with-mcrypt and --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/bin/mcrypt both and I get the same error each time.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Phil

P.S. - I don't know if it makes a difference or not (as the error occurs looking for mcrypt) but i am performing a fairly complex build of PHP. i dont know if maybe there is a weird conflict somewhere:

./configure --with-ldap --with-mysql --with-pgsql --with-gd --with-t1lib --with-ttf --enable-bcmath --enable-debug --enable-inline-optimization --enable-trans-sid --with-imap --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/bin/mcrypt --with-mhash --with-zlib --enable-ftp --enable-sockets --disable-short-tags --enable-track-vars --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-dom --with-sablot --enable-sablot-errors-descriptive --enable-wddx --prefix=/usr/local/php

I am interested to know if you solved this issue (and how!). I have exactly the same problem since my upgrade from redhat 6.2 to Redhat 7.0.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem.
First thing you want to do is look at debug.log in your compile directory.
I suspect your problem is actually not with mcrypt, but with ldap.

The problem is likely that your OS came with LDAP installed, but it is does not have the same symbols that the php ldap support needs.

This is no big deal. Just install the latest release of OpenLDAP in /usr/local. Then in your configure statement put --with-ldap=/usr/local

ok? Hope this helps.
