Update
Using the above for PHP4.2.2 we had a segfault ever time we started apache. This was fixed by removing all the old files :-
rm /usr/lib/libmcrypt.*
rm -r /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt

Then reinstalling all the latest versions. It could have been where we had older versions installed. But the above versions worked for us with PHP4.2.2
