I'm trying to install mCrypt for PHP on my server, and before that it looks like I need to install libmcrypt as well...


I cannot find any instructions via google that actually work for this, can somebody please let me know how to do this?


I originally just tried yum install php-mcrypt but I get No package php-mcrypt available. - so I assume it's because I didn't install libmcrypt yet...
Thanks!

Update. I got the library installed. It was easy with yum, I just needed to be more specific about my OS (x86_64).

Now, I still can't find the php-mcrypt package. Can somebody tell me how to add atomic to my repo list? I am positive it is in there...

Update:

I've got php-mcrypt installed making sure nothing was excluded in yum... but it didn't come out with dependency failures:

The RPM package appears to be installing Apache and PHP along with php-mcrypt, have you PHP or Apache installed already?

[shackrock]

Right you are. I do already have both installed, i have no idea why it wouldn't realize that though??

I had somebody help me fix things back up, and I am going to just use GPG now... Thanks.
