I am trying to run phpsysinfo. version 2.5.4 runs fine so i tried 
installing the latest version (3.0.13) and this is where i ran into the 
mbstring error. I think i just need to get mbstring.so to load and i;ll 
probably be ok, but even tho its the same directory as other loadable 
extensions it doesnt load.
Yeh, I'm using the x86_64 version of php, everything is x86_64 and 
version 5.3.6 according to mandriva control center
Thanks
