Installing mcrypt on OSX 10.8.2 - PHP 5.3.15 with MacPorts

Download and install MacPorts from http://macports.org.

The following steps are performed in the Terminal:

Force MacPorts to update (will only work if Apple's Xcode installed):

sudo port -v selfupdate

Now, install memcached:

sudo port install php5-mcrypt

Copy the newly created shared object for mcrypt into Mac OS X’s default PHP5 extension directory:

sudo cp /opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mcrypt.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

Next, you need to edit php.ini to add the extensions. Find the phrase Dynamic Extensions, and add:

extension=mcrypt.so

And finally, restart Apache:

sudo apachectl restart
