Re: [squid-users] Installing Squid Issue

The squid directory should have been something that you specified at
build time

--exec_prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid \
--localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc/squid \

so when you do a make install it should make the directory and install
some files into it.

So if you are going to to a squid -z you probably have edited squid.conf
somewhere? If that is the case then you can use that file when you try
to start squid -f.
