I was installing Magento (E-commerce software) and got the following errors:
o PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded
o PHP Extension “mcrypt” must be loaded

To add these extentions, I had to recompile php adding these two parameters to my PHP 5 configure script:
–with-mcrypt
–with-pdo-mysql

Share and Enjoy:
