This package contains just the runtime library. However, in order to
compile code that links against libuv, you need the "libuv-devel"
package. Besides "libuv-devel", you also need some other packages to
build and run BIND properly.

However, seeing as you're stumbling on even this basic step, I'd advise
you not to compile BIND. You're better off using packages made by other
experienced people. The packages also contain additional files, such as
systemd unit files, that make it easy to run BIND. For CentOS, have a
look at:
