It didn't show up, indeed, but I didn't pay enough attention to this.

Done and reinstalled and it worked.
BTW the first time for me on Linux, that this procedure - let's call it
the "the general Windows way of solving problems" - was necessary and
succesful!

Looking at php.ini it turned out, that the extension was not enabled
there the first time (no entry).

Thanks a lot!
