Why do you think that the installation process can predict every
possible detail of the configuration of your name server?????????

You have to create the named.conf file yourself (ie define your local
server's configuration: what zones it servers, etc). Some sample
named.conf files are provided in the documentation. Unless you provide
a valid named.conf file, the name server won't start which means it
can't create a named.pid file. For one thing, the pathname for that
file could be defined in the options{} block of named.conf.
