 >I have tried it without specifying the directory, but I think if I 
don't it says it can't find it. I'm using my home directory because I'm 
"virtual hosting" and if I don't, I get permission >errors. What is 
"ld.so.conf", and where would I find it?

ld.so.conf (in /etc on my box) contains a list of dirs that ld (gnu 
dynamic linker) checks for shared objects/libraries, ELF, etc. You won't 
have any control of that if you're virtual-hosting. Try doing:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/the/mcrypt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

which only affects your environment. That might do the trick.
