[Non-DoD Source] Build with GEOIP

[Olsen, Richard William (Rick) CTR (US)]

Thanks to those who have responded with helpful replies. I understand now
that the bind build does not have the api actually built in and that I have
to install one.

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Build with GEOIP 

I'm trying to configure the GEOIP option in to our bind build. I have the
free GeoIP databases for initial testing. Can anyone point me to a
walkthrough or give me the required steps. I've read the stuff I can find on
ISC and it talks about using the --with-geoip config option and states:

"BIND 9.10's GeoIP features work by allowing you to create ACL elements that
evaluate based on the location information for the client's IP address.
This uses the API provided by MaxMindR to query their GeoIP database but
should work with any database in a compatible format."

This makes it sound to me like the API for maxmind is built in to the bind
code. What I get when trying to build out the bind "--with-geoip"

Configure: error: GeoIP path not found


so I tried to use " --with-geoip=/var/named/GeoIP"

Path does not exist



Used "--with-geoip=/var/named/chroot/var/named/GeoIP" (created the directory
and put the databases here.) Now I get

checking GeoIP.h usability... no
checking GeoIP.h presence... no
checking forGeoIP.h... no
configure: error GeoIP header file not found

the build directory for this release has geoip.h in bin/named/include/named

I'm obviously missing some things.
