mbstring extension not found; how to find it?

After installing phpMyAdmin on my Fedora Core 4 box, (Apache 2.0.54,
PHP 5.0.4) we're getting this error:

"The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a
multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable
to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results."

The phpinfo() has no reference to mbstring.
Doing some searching, I found some information regarding php.ini and
uncommenting out an "extension= ", but our php.ini has no reference to
mbstring.
Everything I'm finding on the Web relates to Windows boxes and the
location of a mbstring.dll file.

Can someone point me to some info regarding this; I seem to be
completely missing it.

Thanks!

Yes.
And I mainly used: "Example 1. php.ini setting examples" to match my
php.ini to.
Forgot to mentioned I'd uncommented those lines in my php.ini (and set
them to proper settings) and restarted Apache at one point.
