i'm trying to configure php with mcrypt support.

output is below:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql3/mysql/mysql_config \
--with-config-file-path=/etc \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/apache/php \
--with-mcrypt=/opt/mcrypt-2.5.8

...

Hrm. Check configure.log and see if the command used to compile included something like -L/opt/mcrypt-.../lib. If not, override the LDFLAGS or LDLIBS on the configure line.

./configure ... LDFLAGS=/opt/mcrypt-.../lib

Of course, this is assuming you did install mcrypt inside /opt.
