IP Geolocation Usage
IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. Locations are often near the center of the population. Any location provided by a GeoIP database should not be used to identify a particular address or household.
Usage
See the examples in the examples folder.
Troubleshooting
If you get a “libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object No such file or directory” error, add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then run /sbin/ldconfig /etc/ld.so.conf
