I note that it's created plenty of files - some for the Win platform(?) and I'm confused as to what I have to put where. I'm running a Debian based system and I appear to have the most recent packaged version already - hence the source option. I can see an install-sh script but that gives me: ./install-sh install:no input file specified Is there an install DOC that I can't find? running make install will install it. optionally: You may want to look at the configure options as you might be wanting to explicitly set some of them. ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

I'd say, you have three options: 1. ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var make sudo make install The copy of bind that came with your distribution will be replaced, the new copy will pick up the old configuration, will be started by old startup scripts, and will face risk of being overwritten when aptitude decides to upgrade the package from the distribution. And, you have no way back from there. Not recommended. 2. ./configure make sudo make install Then copy your configuration into /usr/local/etc/..., and modify startup scripts to start the daemon from /usr/local/sbin. The new copy will not conflict with the distribution-installed, and you can always fall back to that. Better choice. 3. Enable backports repository (see http://www.backports.org/) and upgrade bind with aptitude. It is at the moment at version 9.6.1-P3 I think. This is your safest choice, unless you *really* need the new features of 9.7.

Strike that - found the answer (it's as clear as mud) I think I'll just alter the init.d script for now and see if this version fixes my issue By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. For better control, use the options below. Fine tuning of the installation directories: --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc] --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com] --localstatedir=DIRmodifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var] --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib] --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include] --oldincludedir=DIRC header files for non-gcc [/usr/include] --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR] --infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info] --localedir=DIRlocale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale] --mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man] --docdir=DIR documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/PACKAGE] --htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR] --dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR] --pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR] --psdir=DIRps documentation [DOCDIR] ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
