v1.5.2 GeoIP.dat Missing? #73

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I need to use v1.5x with an older application that will not work with the v1.6x versions.

I tried to compiled from source v1.5.2 and received this back from the CLI:

/usr/bin/ginstall: cannot stat ‘./GeoIP.dat’: No such file or directory

I noticed upon inspection between v1.5.1 & v1.5.2 the Data directory in v1.5.2 was empty, this is all it contained; Makefile.am

I would greatly appreciate it if this can be corrected?

thank you

You can download GeoIP.dat (GeoLite Legacy) and place it in that folder.

That said, I would recommend upgrading to 1.6.7, if possible, as it has several important security and bug fixes. I believe the only breaking change involves the removal of libGeoIPUpdate.

I'm trying to use this with nicotine+;

It's an older app, but not sure it really matters, but I can't seem to get it working with 1.6.7...

hmm
