**ERROR** Could not configure PHP build

I am using the Web Admin Console in WHM - going to action - compile php 7.0.15 or 7.1.1 but always get the same error.
Libmcrypt is installed on my CENTOS 7.3 x86_64 server. Using LS 5.1.13

Could someone help suggest how to fix this, Thank you. :))

Yes I have tried to reinstall LS, used EasyApache 4 to recompile many ways - no luck.

No package libmcrypt-devel available.

SSH usage is not my strong point - I just upgraded my VPS server to 64bit Centos. Normally I just use the WHM Litespeed plugin and everything has been working for years. Any more suggestion ?

Thank you.

This method fixed it: :)

yum clean all

yum remove epel-release

yum install epel-release

yum install php-mcrypt

yum install libmcrypt-devel
