You have told configure to install php in:

{$prefix}/lib

So, the default location for your php.ini when you compile 
from source code is:

/usr/local/php/lib as mentioned in the above line:

> Configuration File (php.ini) Path     /usr/local/php/lib

So, instead of putting php.ini in /etc/ folder, you need to 
move it to /usr/local/php/lib/ - then php will be able to 
find it and use it.

Also, if you do decide to use PEAR modules, then the default 
installation for those will be under:

{$prefix}/lib/php

Most other stuff is put under the {$prefix}/lib subdirectory 
as well, including php dynamically loaded extension 
modules, when you compile php from source code.
