This problem was caused by the change of api from node 0.4.x to 0.6. I just fixed it in the master branch, you can give it a try. But this only works with node >= 0.5.0. So it won't be released until node 0.6 is out.

Still have the same installation issue. Are you use this is fixed?

CentOS release 5.7 (Final)

$ npm -v 1.0.106

$ node -v v0.6.5

$ yum info GeoIP Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Installed Packages Name : GeoIP Arch : i386 Version : 1.4.8 Release : 1.el5 ...

I guess you don't have headers files installed on your system. Try this:

yum install GeoIP-devel

[jedigras]

Success! Thanks for the quick reply.
