mcrypt file encryption

Can anyone help me to install mcrypt.  Rpm's lead to Failed Depends, ./make configure fails...

Either that, or a simple way to encrypt a tar file.

e.g.  I have a tar (backup) file on a remote system and want to move it from that system to mine via ssh and save it (offsite backup) to protect the client, I want to have the files encrypted before they are sent to me.

So, simply put, I want something to encrypt a tar file... so far the only way i can do it is to copy the file to a Micro$oft box, encrypt with one of the 1000 freebee tools, and then move it back...

From my tiny bit of reading, crypt is kinda old for this sort of thing...
