I did mean "mcrypt," sorry for the confusion. The "y" naturally follows after years of writing "mysql" I suppose. This worked marvelously - thanks again! – Sampson May 26 '10 at 15:00

Fedora and CentOS rpms can be quite different. – Vladislav Rastrusny May 28 '10 at 09:48
EPEL is for RHEL/CentOS which is clearly stated on that page. – joschi May 29 '10 at 05:47
how can i add EPEL to my repo list so that I can use "yum" to install? – Shackrock Aug 20 '11 at 18:41
