Error Help me 'bout DNS Server

I using BIND9 to build DNS server. (.configure --> make --> make install). That's all OK. when i exec /usr/local/bind/sbin/named (full path of named), nothing's happen: no process (ps -ef), port 53 (DNS) isn't open, and no error is noticed.
Why? And help me fix this. Thank you very much!

uname-a >> SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

P/S: Sorry for my english!

Although I haven't used Bind 9, in all the Bind software, you need to set up the files that tells it that you have something for it to run with (ie. you have a domain and database files for it to start 'advertising').

Did you set up the /etc/named.conf to tell the named process what it's suppose to be doing? Did you put in the named.conf where the db files are located, what zones it will be master or slave to?
