Not sure it helps, but I have `php54-mcrypt` installed via MacPort with no issues. – Traveling Tech Guy Jul 15 '14 at 04:42

Yups, MacPort install process is smooth but this one was meant specifically for people trying to install it via Homebrew. – Gaurav Gupta Jul 15 '14 at 04:44

You will need to run brew tap homebrew/dupes and then brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
Then run brew install php54-mcrypt again.

Make sure you specify the correct directory. For example, you need to be in the homebrew directory if you run 'brew install php54-mcrypt'. If you're up one directory, you would need to run 'brew install homebrew/php54-mcrypt'.
