Issue
While compiling PHP from source on CentOS server, we get the error below:
checking for mcrypt support... yes
configure: error: mcrypt.h not found. Please reinstall libmcrypt.The root of the problem is we’ve enabled this option –with-mcrypt.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php7 \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php7/etc \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php7/etc/conf.d \
--enable-bcmath \
...
--with-mcrypt \
--with-jpeg-dirSolution
In this, we have to install the dependencies packages as follows:
sudo yum -y install libmcrypt-devel# yum list installed | grep libmcrypt
libmcrypt.x86_64 2.5.8-13.el7 @epel
libmcrypt-devel.x86_64 2.5.8-13.el7 @epelAnd then try to re-compile PHP from source and it should be able to compile this time.
