BUILDING GeoIP
--------------------
If you want to use the GeoIP library with ipv6calc, you will
have to build and install it yourself separately.
Instructions for current version (1.4.8)
install following RPMs (usually supported by distribution)
GeoIP GeoIP-devel
Create as user "root" database directories:
Install databases
# mkdir -p /var/local/share/GeoIP
Update databases (GeoLite databases do not require a license)
# pushd /var/local/share/GeoIP/ || exit 1
# wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz && gunzip -f GeoIP.dat.gz
# wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz && gunzip -f GeoIPv6.dat.gz
Enable GeoIP support by using following configure options:
--enable-geoip
In case, dynamic load of library should be enabled (conditional GeoIP support), add
--with-geoip-dynamic
Having GeoIP databases not stored in /usr/share/GeoIP (or a softlink created), add e.g.
--with-geoip-db=/var/local/share/GeoIP
For more specifc options see ./configure --help
