[Mcrypt-developers] linking statically and/or error while loading shared libraries

[email b. <ema...@ya...>]

Hello,

  Two separate questions:

=======

 1) I am wondering if it is possible to statically link to mcrypt libraries
when compiling and linking my own code?  I get these errors when I do:

gcc -I/usr/local/include -c xx.c 
gcc -o xx xx.o -L/usr/local/lib -lmcrypt -static

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmcrypt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [filtercmd] Error 1

Is there some kind of libmcrypt-devel kind of thing or more libraries I need
to link to?

=======

 2) When compiling normally (non-static), things are OK until I run my binary
and get:

error while loading shared libraries: libmcrypt.so.4: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

  I read this thread:  

http://lists.hellug.gr/pipermail/mcrypt-dev/2002/000693.html

  But I don't understand what this response means, and I have no other reason
to think libmcrypt is mis-installed or other... I use libmcrypt every day in
PHP - no errors, so I think the library is installed ok?  I compiled and
installed libmcrypt 2.5.7 from source.

Hmmm:

ldconfig -v | grep mcrypt gives me nothing though.  well where does PHP find
it then?  how do I get libmcrypt into the loader's cache?

Thanks for any pointers!!
