i tried to install a rss reader, but it can't read the feeds because it doesn't understand the language (tw, cn, jp, kr type) so i emailed the MAN, and the MAN told me that i have to install

mbstring + iconv with my php

now i looked at the config file for php and i found a bunch

(/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-4.3.10/pear/tests/php.ini
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-4.3.10/php.ini-dist
/usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-4.3.10/php.ini-recommended
/usr/local/lib/php.ini
)


i didn't know which one to modify so i modified /usr/local/lib/php.ini to test

i "believe" that i enabled mbstring in the .ini file by commenting out the ####s, but when i do php.info, it is still not showing up there, do i have to restart php? how do i do that?

i haven't spotting iconv in the .ini file, does it mean that i have to reconfigure php and recompile it again?

if so, i would rather install php5, but how can i uninstall my current php4 and install php5 without breaking anything? !!!

anyone has any good experience with it?

thanks in advance.

pip
 
i found out that freebsd is a POSIX-compliant system, so i don't have to install iconv, and for mbstring, i have to compile it with "enable" not "with"

anyhow,

i got to this point

./build clean
./build php

an error message saying

bash# ./build clean
bash: ./build: cannot execute binary file
bash# ./build php
bash: ./build: cannot execute binary file


what to dooooo next? :)
