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!
