Hi there,

I am struggling to properly build php-4.3.6nb2 with mbstring.
Initially it was installed via pkgsrc and was working OK. But
when I installed squirrelmail for webmail, it requires to build
with mbstring for multibyte support.
I searched on the net how to build and all of the information
says "./configure --enable-mbstring".
But pkgsrc's make seems not allow to set the configure.
I tried to do configure (by using configure which was from old 
installation)
before make but once "make" runs after ./configure, it seems to run the
./configure again and overwrite the configure files, this means the
mbstring wasn't activated.
Also I added the following line in Makefile.php before make
   CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-mbstring
and mbstring looked configured (when I do "php -m", mbstring was in the 
list) but
squirrelmail still give me the error "multibyte function not available,
configure with --enable-mbstring". And some commands which are of 
mbstring
didn't work. (something like mbstring.internal.encoding())
I also tried to install php-mbstring but it failed, even if php4 was
installed as a dependent package of php-mbstring.

This question might be of the applications but I just wonder if the 
problem
can be solved by an environment setting?

Mac : PM4400/200
NetBSD 1.6.2
PHP : php-4.3.6nb2 from pkgsrc

I didn't install any Japanese environment in this Mac.
The outputs from pkg_info is as follows.
Do I need to install Japanese environment to OS?

Thanks for your help in advance.
