mcrypt on mac osx lion

Question

Hello,

Has anyone already tried to install magento web shop on a mac Lion Server (10.7) succesfully?

I tried to install the magento software but cannot succeed because of a missing dependency: Mcrypt.

I have tried to install the mcrypt from macports (sudo port install mcrypt) succesfully and also by hand.

But it won't show up in my php info page as available. (I have enable_dl On in the php.ini)

If anyone can help me, thanks!

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Not sure if you solved this, but I got it worked out on Snow Leopard using Michael Gracie's article (and all the comments) here:

I see he's now updated it for Lion here:

Hope that helps!
