Replace the "#" with a ";" on line 8.

Upgrade your name server to bind 4.9.3 which is available from:
ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/bind/release/4.9.3/bind-4.9.3-REL.tar.gz
In the same directory is Patch1 which is strongly suggested.

The BSD 4.4 compat libraries and includes that come with bind only interferre on
FreeBSD.  I set COMPLIB="" and COMPINCL="" in the top Makefile, stopped any
usage of COMPLIB in linking (otherwise it complains ../ is a malformed input)
and it compiled fine.  Works beatifully on several 2.1R boxes here.
