Description Bill Ing 2006-04-11 21:00:25 UTC 
Installed PHP4-extensions from ports and then went back later to add another extension (gdbm support in dba, to be precise).

The make config shell GUI showed it was there but upon looking up the php info on the server after compile, it wasn't present.

I looked and discovered /var/db/ports/php4-extensions/options also wasn't showing gdbm enabled but the "make config" GUI was reporting that it was enabled.

I manually set it in the options file and got it to compile.

Fix: 

Manually edited /var/db/ports/php4-extensions/options to enable gdbm and re-comipled.
How-To-Repeat: Install php4-extensions with dba enabled and gdbm disabled.

Go back and try to reinstall php4-extensions with gdbm enabled.

GDBM is not a php4-extensions option, so it cannot appear and be selected.
