php lacks mbstring extension on my solaris 10 sparc

[Gabriel Belingueres]

Hi,

I downloaded and installed php 5.1.6 from www.sunfreeware.com but it
lacks both the php_mbstring.so extension and php_gd2.so extension.

How can I enable those extensions? Where do I download them?
Or do I have to download php source code and recompile all php?

TIA,
Gabriel

I just downloaded and compiled the source. Was actually pretty easy;
the only thing which took a little time was determining which config
options I wanted. That must have taken 10-15 minutes.

Compiling and linking was a no-brainer after that.
