make install should install one, but may be putting it in some place that it's not expected.
If you are using some kind of package manager like apt-get or RedHat rpms or whatever, you are in duck soup for where some package-maker THINKS they should put the php.ini file, and where their binary actually looks for it... You can always just COPY the php.ini-dist file to where phpinfo() says it should be and then edit it. If PHP cannot find the file, it just uses all the defaults, so it's no real shock that there's nothing there.
