I'm setting up bind but could not get going due to this error. I decided to use 
rpm. I installed bind, bind-chroot and caching-nameserver. I now configured 
named.conf but no zone files yet. When I start the named, it says:

 could not configure root hints from 'named.root': file not found

My directory is in /var/named/chroot/etc. I have named.root in that directory. 
Here is the portion of the root hints in my named.conf:

zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
        };

I have tried Google yesterday but up to now, I'm still stuck. Would you think 
there are other services that is conflict? I have tried install bind via source 
before but it was an old version
