It needs the path to the libGeoIP library. On my system that's in /usr/lib, so --with-geoip=/usr would work. The configure script knows a handful of directories to check automatically, though, and /usr is one of them, so I just use "configure --with-geoip" and that works fine. You may not have the library installed. There's probably a package for your OS, or the source is at https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c. > the build directory for this release has geoip.h in bin/named/include/named That file is part of BIND. Look for GeoIP.h, with the capital letters. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
