There's a slight mistake in the french translation of the 'mcrypt'
introduction page.

The english version can be found here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php

The french version here:
http://www.php.net/manual/fr/ref.mcrypt.php

On that page there's an 'Installation' section.

Here's the english version:
"Installation
You need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to
enable this extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory. Make sure
you compile libmcrypt with the option --disable-posix-threads."

And here's the french version:
"Installation
Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer
cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt.
Assurez-vous de compiler libmcrypt sans l'option
--disable-posix-threads."

The problem lies in the last sentence regarding that compilation
option. Basically the french translation says the exact opposite of the
original text: "Make sure you compile libmcrypt *without* the option
--disable-posix-threads."

Well so far I've heard that PHP is not guaranteed to be thread-safe so
it sounds quite normal to me to compile modules/associated libs
*without* any threads stuff. So compiling libmcrypt *with* that
--disable-posix-threads option sounds right.

Moreover I think the original english documentation has been reviewed
more often than the french translation and an error in the english
documentation would have aroused comments.

Well. Considering that the original english documentation is right, the
french translation should read:

"Installation
Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer
cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt.
Assurez-vous de compiler libmcrypt avec l'option
--disable-posix-threads."
