Thanks, Michael. After many hours of fighting, I just installed MAMP, so I guess I took a short cut ;}

Laura –

Because I already had PHP installed, I didn’t create the SourceCache dir.

You must grab the PHP source code for your version of PHP, and follow the directions exactly as prescribed above. Most if not all users of these instructions already have PHP installed – you need that source code to create the mcrypt plugin.

Again, there are no shortcuts – follow the instructions to the letter. UPDATE: you can’t type “usr/bin/phpize” – you must type “/usr/bin/phpize”

Michael, thanks for the info, and I still don’t get it. Because I already had PHP installed, I didn’t create the SourceCache dir.
I am typing usr/bin/phpize at the prompt
but get the response: usr/bin/phpize: No such file or directory.
Yet when I list the files in usr/bin the phpize is there:

laura-landys-macbook-pro:/ lauralandy-PB4$ cd /usr/local/php5

I am very new to using terminal so I am probably missing something very basic.

I appreciate your help, thanks!

Laura

Laura –

phpize is an executable – you are not going in there, you are just typing the command ‘/usr/bin/phpize’ to run it. If it’s not in /usr/bin/ you have to go find where it is, and run with it’s correct path.

Thanks for this info.

I’ve gotten this far:

Move back to /SourceCache, then down to php-5.3.0/ext/mcrypt – type…

/usr/bin/phpize (phpize should be in /usr/bin – if not go find it and change the command as appropriate)

Then configure as follows…

Confused. phpize is not a directory. Do I just go to /usr/bin and configure? {note: I already had PHP5 installed.]

Thanks!

I didn’t even see this post until today. I’m not always on Twitter enough to follow the dialogue sometimes. HA…

Glad you liked the swag package! Enjoy. I thought Rivers of a Lost Coast was wonderfully done.

To clear up some confusion, navigating to /usr/local/bin in the Finder is only possible if
A. You have altered your finder to show all files by typing this into terminal: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
and
B. /usr/local/bin exists, which it didnt for me.

how about this instead:

Execute from the terminal:
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Wireshark/Utilities/Command\ Line/ /usr/local/fin

That will create /usr/local/bin if it doesnt exist, and doesnt require seeing too much in finder (I like being able to see hidden files, but hate seeing all the ._DS_Store garbage)

TC – Touch screens aren’t for me either. The keyboard is still small, but you get used to it very quickly. But note, if the gal has long-ish fingernails, she might have a problem with it.
