Nginx 0.8.53 geoip compilation issue

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

When i try to compile geoip module with the latest development version
of the nginx following warning/error occurs

src/http/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.c:117: error: ‘GeoIPRecord’
has no member named ‘continent_code’
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
src/http/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.c: In function
‘ngx_http_geoip_region_name_variable’:
src/http/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.c:275: warning: implicit
declaration of function ‘GeoIP_region_name_by_code’
src/http/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.c:275: warning: assignment makes

make[1]: *** [objs/src/http/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nginx-0.8.53'
make: *** [build] Error 2

Any idea how to fix this ?

Thanks.

happening

`strerror' or `strerror_r' instead

This issue will be fixed in upcoming 0.9.0.

Strange, I’ve just upgraded GeoIP to 1.4.6 from 1.4.4 on my FreeBSD
host:

pkg_info | grep GeoIP
GeoIP-1.4.6 Find the country that any IP address or hostname
originates

And nginx have been built without issues. Besides, there is
GeoIP_region_name_by_code() function in lib GeoIP library:

strings /usr/local/lib/libGeoIP.so | grep GeoIP_region_name_by_code
GeoIP_region_name_by_code

GeoIP_region_name_by_code

After checking this i found two instances of geoip libraries installed
on the system, so removed the old library and now nginx compiles, Thank
you Igor.
