Trouble installing mcrypt



Hi,

I'm trying to install mcrypt 2.6.4 on my Mandrake Linux system. When I
run "./configure", I get this error:

checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... (cached) none needed
checking dependency style of gcc... (cached) gcc3
checking for libmcrypt-config... no
checking for libmcrypt - version >= 2.5.0... no
*** Could not run libmcrypt test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means LIBMCRYPT was
incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved LIBMCRYPT since it was installed. In the
latter case, you
*** may want to edit the libmcrypt-config script: no
configure: error: *** libmcrypt was not found

which baffles me because I do have libmcrypt installed -- I installed
it right before. The location is /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, - Dave
