Installing bind is not very clear for me

[Leandro]

Ok ...
I got BIND 9.10.2-P3  working.
I compiled with

./configure --with-openssl --enable-threads --with-libxml2 --with-libjson
make
make install

Json statistics channel is working and chroot is not longer mandatory.
Im happy.

Thanks!
Leandro.
