Before compiling, go into the file: ext/standard/crypt.c and change line 109 to: srand48((long)time(0) * (long)getpid() * (long)(php_combined_lcg()*(double)1.0)); You should check your server log files. If httpd is core dumping when you run mycrypt commands, then this is your problem. The fix was documented at bugs.php.net and was incorporated into a later version. When I compiled 4.0.6, I didn't have to make this change. If you're going to recompile anyway, you may as well upgrade. Good luck... Christopher Ostmo a.k.a.

Is mcrypt installed in your PHP system?
echo phpinfo();
and look for mcrypt

Does phpinfo() show version 2.5.2 ? I'm wondering if you've got multiple mcrypt installs, and, like, somehow the headers of one are getting compiled in, while the other one is the one that gets used... Just how many unique (not symlinks) libmcrypt.so files turn up when you do: locate libmcrypt >I use the ./configure option > >--snip-- > >./configure >--with-apache=../apache_1.3.26 >--with-ibm-db2=/usr/lpp/db2_06_01 >--with-openssl=../openssl-0.9.6d >--with-mcrypt=../../lib >--without-mysql >--with-config-file-path=/etc >--enable-track-vars >--with-curl=../../lib >--with-xml > >--snip-- > >2nd thing, what would happen when I leave out the "--with-config-file-path" >option? Not sure what this is use for. Then php.ini would go in /usr/local/lib where it belongs instead of in /etc where you think it belongs, but doesn't :-) :-) :-) At least, I'm pretty sure that's what --config-file-path does -- Tells PHP where php.ini is living this week. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Re: Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish?
It is a one way hash that many people use for simple encryption...however, it should not be used for encrypting sensitive information...some people have used it for encrypting data contained in files... For example do a md5 hash then encrypt the hash Thanks, Ray Hunter -Original Message- From: Thalis A.
