Did you try re-running configure with ‘--with-maxminddb=/usr’ and then recompiling?
What does 'named -V’ report when you do this? --with-maxminddb is used to find the header (include) files, the library and the database. These should all be relative to a common prefix which is what you specify. You also missed the leading ‘/‘ on the path when you ran configure previously as it is not in the path reported below. This all said you should be able just specify —-with-geoip=yes and configure will figure out the rest.
