Cannot get ./configure to create Makefile for Bind 9.10.3-P4. Please help!

[Majid Mir]

I think I Know why it worked on the old server.. it is because there is an
existing Makefile already.. I am going to rename the existing makefile and
see if it creates one. If it doesnt, then I will know that the no-create
option is the culprit!

Thanks for your help.. I will report back with what I find.
