I'm trying to install mcrypt under php and can't. If I do php test.php | grep mcrypt (where test.php contains phpinfo()) nothing comes up so I want to install it.
If I do sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt I get this:
E: Unable to locate package php5-mcrypt
If I do sudo apt-cache search mcrypt nothing comes up.
Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list

According to https://stackoverflow.com/q/19446679/569976 this should work:
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
Only problem: I do not have /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini.
Any ideas? Do I have to compile mcrypt myself from source to get it working on ubuntu? I'm running Ubuntu 13.04.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if you are having the same issue that I am (I'm running Ubuntu 13.10, and not 13.04), but this worked for myself. Here is the original answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19446679/mcrypt-not-present-after-ubuntu-upgrade-to-13-10
