title: Installing Laravel4 -- says I need Mcrypt, but I just installed it
body: <p>I'm trying to install Laravel4 on my 10.6 Mac / PHP 5.4.14.  And I seem to be going down a rabbit hole.</p>
  
  <p>After "composer install"ing Laravel4 .. command line showed that I needed the Mcrypt PHP extension.  So  I tried to install that and I was told I had to have Mhash installed.  So I installed Mhash .. then went back and installed Mcrypt</p>
  
  <pre><code>extension = mcrypt.so
  Libraries have been installed in:
  /Users/****/downloads/php-5.4.14/ext/mcrypt/modules
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I went back to installing Laravel 4 and now I'm showing this</p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/intl.so' - dlopen(/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/intl.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

  Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension.

  <p>.. and I thought I had already taken care of that intl.so issue .. but it seems I installed an old version?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Module compiled with module API=20090626
  PHP    compiled with module API=20100525
  These options need to match
  in Unknown on line 0
  Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So can someone maybe give me a bit of perspective on this and point me in the right direction?  I'm a little fuzzy with compiling PHP.</p>
