If you want to recompile PHP with mcrypt enable.

1. Insatll mcrypt. libmcrypt-devel is from Third Party Repositories EPEL, so you should:

yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release
yum install libmcrypt-devel

2. Append --with-mcrypt to your ./configure arguments:

./configure --with-mcrypt

3. Build and install:

make & make install
