Ok. I'm getting frustrated.

In pkgtools.conf I have:

        'lang/php4' => 'WITH_APACHE=YES WITH_FASTCGI=YES WITH_REDIRECT=YES',
        'lang/php4-extensions' => 'BATCH=YES WITH_GD=YES WITH_ZLIB=YES 
WITH_BZIP
2=YES WITH_MCRYPT=YES WITH_MHASH=YES WITH_PDFLIB=YES WITH_MYSQL=YES 
WITH_POSTGRE
SQL=YES WITH_XML=YES WITH_XMLRPC=YES WITH_XSLT=YES WITH_WDDX=YES 
WITH_DOMXML=YES
 WITH_FTP=YES WITH_CURL=YES WITH_GETTEXT=YES WITH_ICONV=YES 
WITH_PSPELL=YES WITH
_MIME=YES WITH_MBSTRING=YES WITH_BCMATH=YES WITH_HYPERWAVE=YES 
WITH_MING=YES WIT
H_MCAL=YES WITH_SOCKETS=YES WITH_ZIP=YES WITH_DOMXSLT=YES WITH_CTYPE=YES 
WITH_DO
MXML=YES WITH_CALENDAR=YES WITH_SESSION=YES WITH_PCRE=YES WITH_POSIX=YES 
WITH_TO
KENIZER=YES',

I have used portinstall to install lang/php4-extensions. It appeared to 
do the right thing, given those options above.

I then used portupgrade to upgrade lang/php4.

See all those options I installed with php4-extensions? Well they don't 
get picked up by lang/php4--even though php4-extensions is installed.

What am I doing wrong? I'm gathering it's just something little and 
stupid I'm missing. But, until then...*Beats Head Against Wall*

Thank you in advance,
Best,
Glenn
