What do you mean? It would compile the same if you give it the same configure
option. If you also have the same php.ini, it would also behaves the same
way.

No it does not have to be an RPM. Who said that it has?

What install script are you talking about? If you try to compile from source,
all you have to do is
$> cd <php_source_dir>
$> ./configure <put configure option>
$> make
$> make install
I've never heard of any install script. If you meant the configure script, you
have to give it the correct options so that it compiles with the correct
stuff.

Are both machine has the same php.ini? Try using
<?php
instead of just <?
