There is a php module for mcrypt, which ties into the libmcrypt library.
I don't know RedHat well enough to say, but maybe there is a php-mcrypt
package?  The test.php page is looking for the php mcrypt module, not the
libmcrypt library (which is no good to Horde without the php module
interface to it).
