named problem

[Yu Kobayashi]

Hello, 

Recently I installed the newest BIND (BIND-9.1.1rc) into 
the Sun SPARC Workstation. The installation worked fine, 
so I rebooted the workstation. 

Now here is a problem. The workstation tried to start 
named, but there were messages like the following:

...
named[number]: starting BIND 9.1.1rc2
named[number]: the default for the 'auth-nxdomain' option is now 'no'
named[number]: coudn't open pid file /var/run/named.pid:
               No such file or directory
named[number]: exiting (due to early fatal error)
...

I saw these messages in the /var/adm/message file.
Now I have some questions:

1. What kind of fatal error is this?
2. Did I install BIND incorrectly?
3. I couldn't find /var/run/named.pid file. Where is it? Oh, 
  there is no such directory like /var/run.

The Operating System is Solaris 8. 
I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you in regards.
