See `config.log' for more details.
If all you need is a recent version of bind9, it may be simpler to just
install it from the sid repos. If you are determined to build from the
source, then first install the package build-essential. Also install the
build dependencies for bind9.
# apt-get install build-essential
That will install the compilers and development libraries needed to
build any package.
Assuming you have a line for sid sources in your sources.list,
# apt-get build-dep bind9
will install all the dependencies required to compile bind9
Which of the above package shall I install ?
Which C compiler shall I install? Any other additional packages ?
Please help. TIA
B.R.
