We selected to install DNS/named/Bind during the RH7.1 install. From the
included RH rpm files the installer installed Bind9.1 and the supporting
files in the correct directories.

I would suspect you need to install the rpm version of Bind first in order
to create any RH specific files or libraries. Although we didn't test this
theory.

The script below will effectively update the existing Bind9.1 version that
came with RH to the most current version as published on the isc.org site as
of Nov 23, 2001.

ncftpget ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.0rc10/bind-9.2.0rc10.tar.gz
gzip -d bind-9.2.0*
tar xf- bind-9.2.0*
cd bind-9.2.0*
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install


Disclaimer: Im not an Bind or Linux expert - just another struggling newbie.
Constructive comments are always welcomed.
