Dear Mark,
many thanks for your hint again.
—-with-geoip=yes does not exist, but --enable-geoip does.
Based on you suggestion I tested different possibilities, finally
'--with-maxminddb=auto‘
did do the trick.
Kind regards
Hans

Did you try re-running configure with ‘--with-maxminddb=/usr’ and then recompiling?
What does 'named -V’ report when you do this?
again a missing /
geoip-directory: usr/share/GeoIP
--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.
No, I didn’t. I gave an absolute path with a leading /
But -V didn’t show it.
As I said, „auto“ is the right option.

Dear All,
I posted my question originally at GitLab issue area because I thought it’s maybe a bug. But it isn’t.
I compiled commit c77fcc61 (HEAD -> v9_18, origin/v9_18) with configure options
--enable-geoip --with-maxminddb=/usr/share/GeoIP
when i run named -V there is:
default paths:
named configuration: /usr/local/etc/named.conf
rndc configuration: /usr/local/etc/rndc.conf
DNSSEC root key: /usr/local/etc/bind.keys
nsupdate session key: /usr/local/var/run/named/session.key
named PID file: /usr/local/var/run/named/named.pid
named lock file: /usr/local/var/run/named/named.lock
geoip-directory: usr/share/GeoIP/share/GeoIP
The geoip-directory is quite strange as it doesn't exist
OS is Debian 11.3 ( bullseye ) with latest patch level.
pkg libmaxminddb-dev and libmaxminddb0 are installed.
Mark was so nice and replied for this issue request.
"Use --with-maxminddb=/usr. share/GeoIP is appended to this configure argument. This is the same as libraries where /include and /lib are appended to the configure argument.“
If I understand correctly "--with-maxminddb" is a relative path and will be add to "--prefix" which is in my case /usr/local
To work well I should compile with option --with-maxminddb=GeoIP and I make a symbolic link from /usr/local/GeoIP to /usr/share/GeoIP
But when I run configure with --with-maxminddb=GeoIP the following „make“ terminates with an error:
../../libtool: line 7563: cd: GeoIP/lib: No such file or directory
libtool: error: cannot determine absolute directory name of 'GeoIP/lib'
Which is also quite curios because below /usr/share/GeoIP there is no directory „lib“ but with --with-maxminddb=/usr/share/GeoIP it compiles well.
How to compile bind with the maxmind db located in /usr/share/GeoIP ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Hans
