yum install mcrypt on AWS linux (centos)

I cant seem to install mcrypt on my new linux box with PHP 5.4
I have tried sudo yum install php-mcrypt, sudo yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

result:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

inside php.ini i've added mcrypt.so, but this didnt do anything
so then i took that off and created /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini and added extension=mcrypt.so

Any help please
thank you

You have to remove all php5.3 associated packages, including httpd, because php5.4>= works with httpd24. After unistalling all these packages, check that all your packages are compatible with php 5.4.

This code might allow you removing httpd in order to reinstall httpd24:
sudo yum erase httpd httpd-tools apr apr-util

Check this link that works for php 5.5 and might help you installing php5.4 installing php.5.5 with mcrypt on AWS Linux

Chances are the package is named php54-mcrypt instead of php-mcrypt if you have existing packages named like php54-common.
