Installing PHP with mcrypt and GD on Leopard Server 10.4.5

Hey,

I followed the main solution in https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23478190/How-to-compile-and-install-PHP-5-2-6-on-Xserve-running-Mac-OS-X-Server-10-5-3.html

however I came across some snags, /usr/local/mysql  didn't exist - to do with the mysql headers right? So I followed Apple's instructions and I have got them working  however I couldn't find /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config for the mysqli.

beside that I downloaded and then compiled libmcrypt so that I could adjust the answer on the above page to the following:

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 \
CFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" \
CCFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" \
CXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" \
LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
  --mandir=/usr/share/man \
  --infodir=/usr/share/info \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --with-zlib \
  --with-zlib-dir=/usr/ \
  --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \
  --with-png-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
  --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
  --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
  --with-openssl \
  --with-curl \
  --enable-exif \
  --enable-ftp \
  --enable-mbstring \
  --with-mcrypt \
  --with-mcrypt-dir=/usr/local/lib \
  --enable-mbregex \
  --enable-sockets \
  --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/ \
  --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs \
  --without-iconv



however it results in:


checking for libmcrypt version... >= 2.5.6
checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no
checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no
configure: error: Sorry, I was not able to diagnose which libmcrypt version you have installed.


Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!
