	You have to create named.conf yourself.

	Did you bother to read README:

       "make install" will install "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".

        You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory 
        where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default,
        and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory
        of "run/named.pid".   For backwards compatibility with BIND 8,
        --sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to
        "/var" if no --prefix option is given.  If there is a --prefix
        option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir
        defaults to "$prefix/var".
