     --with-maxmindd-dynamic

  In case GeoIPv2 support should be explicitly *disabled*, use
    --disable-geoip2


DATA UPDATE

For regular (monthls) updates of the free available databases a download tool is also provided:
	GeoIP-update.sh


Commercial databases need a subscription and must be downloaded and softlinked 
	$ cd /var/local/share/GeoIP
