finding phpize

Hi guys,
I am trying to install Turck MMCache on our server but have no idea about
linux...I have gone through all the steps a fellow list user (R'twick) gave
me to install this, up till

$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize

when I type that it says: no file or directory by that name

so after searching on the web for the correct command I did this:
find / -name phpize -print

and even that came up blank....

My questions are: what the heck is that file and does this system HAVE to
have it? Can I complile MMCache into php without it? and lastly....what to
do?

Thanks,
-Ryan

Install php*-devel package for your distribution. I'm sure there is a
x-window application in your distribution that will help you in the
future, or use rpmfind.net to search for the filename you are missing.
