freeBSD PHP issues, Call to undefined function preg_replace()

[kkempter]

Hi List;

 

I'm fairly new to freeBSD, but a long time Linux biggot. I installed freeBSD7, then I installed PHP like this:

 

# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5

# make config

# make install

 

Next I installed PostgreSQL and pgFouine

 

However when I run pgfouine to generate a log report I get this error:

 

$ php ./pgfouine.php -file $PGDATA/pg_log/postgresql-31.log > rept.html

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function preg_replace() in /usr/local/pgsql/pgfouine/include/reporting/geshi/geshi.php on line 474

 

preg_replace() I believe is a PHP built-in, anyone know how to correct this, or have thoughts on what I may be doing wrong. Maybe I've missed some sort of config step?

 

Thanks in advance...

i offer no help, but a quick google indicates that this may be a widespread problem with freebsd and php 5.
