I am having this issue with GeoIP

According to the last error ettercap was not able to open the geoip file so I ran these commands brew install geoip Updating Homebrew... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew! Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core). ==> Updated Formulae imagemagick imagemagick@6 kubernetes-cli node-build

Warning: geoip 1.6.11 is already installed Sayans-iMac:~ sayan$ sudo ettercap -G Password:

(process:12046): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(:12046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_image_get_pixbuf: assertion 'image->storage_type == GTK_IMAGE_PIXBUF || image->storage_type == GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY' failed Error Opening file /usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat Error Opening file /path/to/GeoIP.dat

But still I get the same error and when I click on the GeoIP.dat file in finder according to this path /usr/local/var/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat & this path /path/to/GeoIP.dat

Finder shows me this error see the attached screenshot https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29756523/28931846-1d2568b8-7895-11e7-91d1-ba62a18bab69.png

This seems unrelated to libGeoIP. I would suggest asking on an Ettercap support forum how to set up GeoIP with their software.
