CentOS and PHP 5.2
In the tutorial I did;
wget http://yum.cocoiti.com/CentOS/5/RPMS/i686/php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.i686.rpm
rpm -i --nodeps php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.i686.rpm
warning: php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9f63b763
Restarted apache, mcrypt wasn't installed. (I used a phpinfo() page.)
However.. it installed mcrypt.so to;
/usr/lib/php/modules/
But all the other .so files are stored in;
/usr/lib64/php/modules/
I copied the file to the lib64 directory, and restarted apache. Still didn't work.
So.. then.. I tried to unstall, by doing this;
rpm -qa |grep php-m
Returned;````
php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1
php-mbstring-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
Then I typed in;````
rpm -e php-mycrypt-5.2.10-1
error: package php-mycrypt-5.2.10-1 is not installed
Yeah.. so now I'm stuck, don't know how to make php use it.. I also found a file;
/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini
Contents:
; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so
Am I totally screwed or what?

@obs:
Sounds like you downloaded the 32bit mcrypt module on a 64 bit php installation, find the 64 bit module and install that. Ok, I thought i686 was 64 bit, but on more inspection I see that I agree with you that I need x86_64.
That doesn't resolve the issue with how to remove the invalid i686 rpm.
rpm -e php-mycrypt-5.2.10-1
error: package php-mycrypt-5.2.10-1 is not installed
You typoed, you put mycrypt.
Transaction Check Error:
package php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.i686 (which is newer than php-mcrypt-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.3.x86_64) is already installed
So then! I did;
rpm -e php-mcrypt-5.2.10-1.i686
And it worked! lol
So I guess, if you are running CentOS 64 bit, the correct lettering includes the type of rpm, in this case i686, in order to uninstall. I hope this helps someone out there with similar issues with installing the wrong type of rpm on their linux box..
