I need mcrypt installed in order to run my scripts.......
Can someone explain how this is done?
James

Didn't check the version .. this is a good reference for you anyway.. download the latest and follow those instructions.. should be fairly straight forward :-)

http://www.alt-php-faq.org/local/95/

then configure php --with-mcrypt --with-other-options

I think you also need Zlib installed also..

Check out: www.rpmfind.net for sources..
Or search Yahoo for a wealth of info.

Wen to http://www.alt-php-faq.org/local/95/
Followed the directions, got to make in mcrypt & got error no file found........
now what

You may get it from

http://rpms.arvin.dk/libmcrypt/


http://rpms.arvin.dk/ is a good resource for rpms.

O.K. Got past "make install" but then got this when executing:
ldconfig
ldconfig: /usr/lib/libmcrypt.so.4 is not a symbolic link


any suggestions????

see the above post.

O.K. I got all the files installed but mcrypt still doesn't show in php.info
Do I have to edit the php.ini file?
If so Please explain how to do this in SSH.
I am used to Webmin with the file manager so I really have never had to use the command line .....

You will need to recompile php --with-mcrypt

The php.net site has everything that you need to know about that here:- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php
