This is probably more a C question than security, but the people here are most likely to having experience using and compiling this tool, so... I'm administering some FreeBSD machines around the world. They do not all have the same release. The need arised to being able to move and store files between the machines in a safe manner: encrypted. bdes is not available on all machines and crypt is supposedly weak and also sometimes linked against MD5 and sometimes against DES. So in order to get one tool I can use across all machines, I was looking at mcrypt (http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/). While compilation and installation of libmcrypt-2.4.7 and mhash-0.8.3 went without a problem, configure of mcrypt-2.5.5 is always complaining about not finding mhash. On solaris it was enough to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PAHT to /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/libmcrypt, on FreeBSD, this does not do the trick. About libtool in the mhash* and libmcrypt* directories I can't find out how to use it. I'd be grateful for hints on what I'm doing wrong.
