Search Again: Re: Installing Bind 9.3.0 From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 Time: 5:58:41 pm If you set --prefix, you must also set a couple of other parameters so that the new named expects named.conf in /etc, and so that it puts run/named.pid in /var. There are a number of other parameters you could set, too (manpage location, info location, etc.). Alternatively, just './configure', and then manually install just the components you want. For example, bin/named/named goes to /usr/sbin/named. Just use the -4 option. That way, if Apple fixes this issue (assuming you're using Mac OS X), and if you should ever want IPv6 support, you won't have to recompile.
