laravel can't find mcrypt extension in php 5.5

I get mcrypt error when I try to execute composer update command for Laravel 4.1 as follows:

 Mcrypt PHP extension required.
 Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error

 [RuntimeException]  
 Error Output:

I already used the commands in order to install php5-mcrypt as below:

 sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
 sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
 sudo php5enmod mcrypt
 sudo service apache2 restart

What is wrong in here?

Remove the 20-mcrypt.ini symlink from the /etc/php5/mods-available folder

Try the php5enmod again.

If that isn't working still you can try.

sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
