Try specifying the complete path of php binary in command line. For instance:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php someprogram.php

It's works for me.

And going still abit further, it might be that its not even compiled so enabling it from php.ini doesnt help at all. And how to determinate that depends on the os where you run php-cli.

Addition:

Original poster indicated that he's running on ubuntu. So, how to make it work:

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

And note, there are on ".dll" files in linux, dll refers to "dynamicaly loaded library" its used in windows, linux equivalent is ".so" and im pretty sure that you havent just installed the mcrypt packages.

Going further on what Greg said, uncomment the correct line by removing the ";" in front of mcrypt.dll

(I think it's mcrypt.dll)

It means that the mcrypt extension isn't being loaded - make sure you're loading the right php.ini from the command line.
