problem with mcrypt installation

Question

I\'ve asked the system admins to install mcrypt on the server, and they say everything is OK. But when I run my simple script I get this.

Warning

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem.

> mcrypt -v
Mcrypt v.0.9.9 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10)
Linked against libmcrypt v.2.5.8

> mcrypt --list-hash
Supported Hash Algorithms:
crc32
md5
sha1

> php CryptoTest.php
PHP Warning:  mcrypt_list_modes(): No modes found in module dir in [...]

It was solved by reconfiguring and recompiling libmcrypt with these options:

./configure --prefix=$YOUR_PATH/libmcrypt --enable-dynamic-loading --disable-posix-threads

Then in your php.ini :

mcrypt.algorithms_dir=/libmcrypt/lib/libmcrypt
mcrypt.modes_dir=/libmcrypt/lib/libmcrypt
