in thread newbie problem with Geo::IP installation through cpan

Thanks for your kind attention. I think the module location is given by this line

CPAN.pm: Going to build B/BO/BORISZ/Geo-IP-1.38.tar.gz

There is also a suggestion from cpan shell

if GeoIP is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/home/me/lib' INC='-I/home/me/include'

Please clarify a bit more what to do here. Shall I just untar from B/BO/BORISZ/Geo-IP-1.38.tar.gz and run the Makefile.PL there ? Please suggest.

Thanks

    It seems to me that you have GeoIP installed in a standard location, so you won't need to do anything special except downloading and manually installing Geo::IP. I tried installing GeoIP and Geo::IP, and everything went without a hitch.

    Hello Rob,

    I have solved it as per your guidance. I have found the Geoip source located at
    /root/.cpan/build/Geo-IP-1.38-ZWHRAD/

    So I have followed your suggestion with in that folder and now I get the Geoip tracking in awstats.

    many many thanks to you
