Error installing geoip_city gem
- by tomeara
I keep getting an error when trying to install the geoip_city gem. I've already installed the GeoIP C library to /opt/GeoIP, but the gem doesn't seem to pick it up. I've tried:
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-lib=/opt/GeoIP/lib
sudo gem install geoip_city -- --with-geoip-dir=/opt/GeoIP --with-geoip-lib=/opt/GeoIP/lib
all of which output this error:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing geoip_city:

you must have geoip c library installed!
