Reflexive response. ;) There is a nice tool called Checkinstall that can be used to build rpm, apt or Slackware whatever from almost anything that installs via make install. There probably are other tools for this purpose as well. http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ I did my install of libmcrypt with it. For mhash I used the prebuild packages and proceeded with instructions found from PHP-source distribution to compile and build separate PHP-module for libmhash support. Short instructions for doing the same: - Fetch the source distribution of PHP corresponding to the installed PHP-version. You can find out the real version of PHP by invoking PHP with "php --version". http://www.php.net/ - Make sure that you have corresponding php-devel rpm installed. (rpm -qa | grep php) If you don't have then fetch and install one with yum. - Install mhash and mhash-devel packages with yum if you have not already done so. - Inside the PHP source distribution you find subdirectory "extension/mhash". Copy this subdirectory to somewhere - Go to that "somewhere" directory and invoke "phpize" (this command comes from the php-devel package!). - "./configure". - "make clean". - "make". - "sudo make install" or if you are root just "make install". - Configuration files for PHP-modules are located /etc/php.d. Do a file called mhash.ini with following one line in it: extension=mhash.so - Restart apache You should now have mhash support for PHP. More detailed instructions for compiling PHP-modules without compiling the full PHP can be found from a file named "README.SELF-CONTAINED-EXTENSIONS" inside the source distribution of PHP. Sometimes it pays to read the documentation but I agree, there should be "official" PHP-modules for mcrypt and mhash and "official" mcrypt-package.
