title: How to enable mcrypt in php on Mac OSX 10.9?
body: <p>Since I want to start learning Laravel, I need to install mcrypt in php. I'm on Mac OSX 10.9 and I installed apache and php manually (no mamp or anything like it) so I followed <a href="http://www.coolestguidesontheplanet.com/install-mcrypt-php-mac-osx-10-9-mavericks-development-server/" rel="nofollow">this guide</a> to install mcrypt. The whole procedure works as expected (no errors), but after restarting the server using <code>sudo apachectl restart</code> I have a look at the output of phpinfo(), and I can't find any mentioning of mcrypt.</p>
  
  <p>Since I don't think I had any errors in the process of compiling and installing, I don't really know where to look for the mistake. Does anybody know what would be logical things to check for?</p>
