This should be fine. It should only require a version equal to or later than 2.5.0. I'll double-check that the configure script is validating this OK.
I know this sounds newbie, but it's always worth a look - check that the libraries are on the ld.so search path, and then re-run ldconfig. If this is the problem, I'll need to fix the installer, as it should be doing this automagically.
I'm cleaning up libmcrypt for a new release, and this sort of bug should certainly not be appearing in such a mature product. I'll probably issue a patch for the current version, as well, for whatever libmcrypt bug may exist.

I had the same problem. I had installed the libmcrypt package first, then I installed the mcrypt package. During the mcrypt configure process I got the same error. An ldconfig cleared it right up, thanks Jonathan!

Hi there,
I hope this is the right place to be posting this question.
I am trying to install mcrypt and libmcrypt. I installed libmcrypt first and so far so good.
But when i ./configure mcrypt things are going wrong because it is looking for libmcrypt version 2.5.0 while i just installed 2.5.7.
How can i make mcrypt understand that this is a
good libmcrypt library?
Here is a summary:
mcrypt-2.6.4
libmcrypt-2.5.7
Looking forward to an answer.
Sander
