Am trying to install a package which has given instructions to use Buildconf from the root of php build directory. In my php build directory's root(/etc/php5), I don't find a Buildconf or Configure script. How do I get these? I installed my php5 using sudo apt-get(yes, I have an Ubuntu).

What you probably have installed is PHP binary package, i.e. already built one. If you need to build a stand-alone PHP module, you may want to install package php5-dev and use utility /usr/bin/phpize5 to generate config files.

If what you really need is PHP source, you may download it from http://www.php.net/downloads.php. After you unpack the package, buildconf will be there.

If neither of these is what you need, I guess it would be helpful to post the instructions you received.
