There are also instructions at:
  http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.html

Look for "Q) Installing associated software PHYLIP". You need the
instructions
in part 'b)' of that question as you are not using the CVS version of EMBOSS.

To summarise what's there in case it was that documentation which
confused you, if you installed EMBOSS-3.0.0 using:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emboss [and any other options you chose]
    make
    make install

Then you install PHYLIP using:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emboss  [and any other options you chose]
   make
   make install



There is only one exception and that is if you installed EMBOSS-3.0.0 using:

   ./configure
   make
   make install

(i.e. you didn't supply a --prefix). In this case you have to supply
an extra flag to the EMBASSY package configuration i.e.

   ./configure --enable-localforce
   make
   make install

We recommend that you use the first approach (i.e supply a --prefix)
to have EMBOSS installed in a directory of its own.
The instructions at the URL above were updated last night and replace
those in the EMBOSS-3.0.0/FAQ file.
