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 — On 17.05.2022, at 02:58, Mark Andrews <ma...@isc.org<mailto:ma...@isc.org>> wrote: 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.

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 -- Ing. Dipl.-Ing.
