How to install and run phpize

Question

I have been meaning to install ffmpeg as an extension to my PHP setup  So before I can install it  I need to phpize it  I installed php5-dev by sudo apt-get install php5-dev  But now when I run phpize I get the following error     phpize Cannot find config m4   Make sure that you run   usr bin phpize  in the top level source directory of the module   The location of my php ini is  usr local zend etc php ini  From another online resource I tried this   sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4   But all of them are already installed    Locate config m4 didn t return anything   Any pointers here how I can get phpize and thus  ffmpeg up and running
