how to add this module using mhash and mcrypt source tarrball ...

i successfully install if i compile all php and apache using source code..

but how to add module if i using rpm package .... for example mhash module where i download mhash source tarrball

    You need to recompile PHP and reinstall from sources rather than relying on RPM. It is not particularly difficult. Make sure that you have the apache-dev RPM installed (see if the apxs script is available on your system), then follow the instructions in the PHP source tarball. The version of Apache that comes with Mandrake uses dynamic modules, so the installation should be straightforward and should only take a few minutes.

      a month later

      A new php-mcrypt rpm file is available now, I almost have it installed. It needs php and php-common 4.0.6 or higher to install. Mandrake 8.1 comes with it, so I suggest an upgrade... if you don't want to mess with source code (as I don't, I never have ANY luck).
