Installing bind9 (9.18.14) on macOS Ventura (13.3.1) — install is not creating a namedb directory nor can I find a boilerplate named.conf. 

Steps taken:

Downloaded tar directly from isc, saved to a local directory as a user with admin privs.

Steps to build:

tar xzf bind-9.18.14.tar.gz
cd bind-9.18.14
./configure

After configure completes:
make

When make successfully completes, ran test suite:

sudo ./bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh up 
make test
Tests run clean, bring down interface and do make install which runs to completion:
sudo ./bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh down
sudo make install
Install appears to complete successfully, however there is no namedb directory in either /etc or /usr/local/etc
In fact there is no named.conf file anywhere on the system except in the source tree.

Please advise as to where to look or please advise if there are additional build steps to take, if configure needs edits, etc.

Thanks for any assistance.
