[ensembl-dev] GeoIP C library

[Anne Parker]

Yes - we recommend downloading the latest (free) version from MaxMind.com - we tried committing it to CVS but it tends to get easily corrupted. Put it into your plugin and then configure the location in SiteDefs.pm:

$SiteDefs::GEOCITY_DAT = '/path/to/plugin/geocity/GeoLiteCity.dat';

Regards

Anne
