Installing/Configuring
I found the libmcrypt-2.5.7.tar.gz file here: ftp://mcrypt.hellug.gr/pub/crypto/mcrypt/libmcrypt
The mcrypt link above only has mcrypt-2.x.x.tar.gz files which when compiled said it was missing the libmcrypt file. The libmcrypt-2.5.7.tar.gz worked when compiled and installed on Fedora. I had to use configure options --disable-posix-threads --enable-dynamic-loading for libmcrypt, and -with-mcrypt=usr/local/include configure option for php, which is the folder with mcrypt.h
Requirements
These functions work using » mcrypt. To use it, download libmcrypt-x.x.tar.gz from » http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net/ and follow the included installation instructions. Windows users will find all the needed compiled mcrypt binaries at » http://files.edin.dk/php/win32/mcrypt/.
As of PHP 5.0.0 you will need libmcrypt Version 2.5.6 or greater.
If you linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or higher, the following additional block algorithms are supported: CAST, LOKI97, RIJNDAEL, SAFERPLUS, SERPENT and the following stream ciphers: ENIGMA (crypt), PANAMA, RC4 and WAKE. With libmcrypt 2.4.x or higher another cipher mode is also available; nOFB.

If installing libmcrypt from RPM, you need both libmcrypt*.rpm and libmcrypt-devel*.rpm. I found RPMs for both were available for most platforms on this page:
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/libmcrypt/
Also files.edin.dk does not seem to carry the win32 files anymore.
