OK, some other questions.  First of all, did you change the correct 
php.ini file?  This usually is more of a problem in Windows systems than 
Unix ones, but it can still occur.  phpinfo() will show you which ini 
file is being used.

Also, are you using the 64 bit version of PHP?  Is the version of 
mbstring you installed the correct one for your version of PHP (I don't 
know where you got either one).  Also, what's in 
/etc/php.d/29_mbstring.ini?  Is this the file you're supposed to include?

ALso, I'm not familiar with Mandriva, but you should be asking them what 
they requires for their package system to work.
