Hi, thanks for the reply. 

For some reason I thought it did install or drop a base bones named.conf file, 
however, it should have dropped the named binary into /usr/local  — which it 
didn’t do. And none of the other “various BIND 9 libraries”.

The bind docs at 
https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter10.html#build-bind

in section 10.2 on building show this:

make install installs named 
<https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#std-iscman-named> and the 
various BIND 9 libraries. By default, installation is into /usr/local, but this 
can be changed with the --prefix option when running configure.

The option --sysconfdir can be specified to set the directory where 
configuration files such as named.conf 
<https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#std-iscman-named.conf> go 
by default; --localstatedir can be used to set the default parent directory 
ofrun/named.pid. --sysconfdir defaults to $prefix/etc and --localstatedir 
defaults to $prefix/var.

If I’m missing something please let me know - or if you have any suggestions, 
like just moving the named binary from my temp dir into /usr/local I’d 
appreciate. Thanks.
