Johanna mentioned to me that libmaxminddb should be working now in master…
So far I haven’t been able to get ‘configure’ to find it, neither with the OS packages nor by installing libmaxminddb in /usr/local/ and specifying --with-geoip.
This is CentOS 7.5.

Yeah, I just figured that out myself and rebuilt…
bro -e “print lookup\_location(8.8.8.8);”
[country\_code=US, region=, city=, latitude=37.751, longitude=-97.822]
Looks like you’ll have the same issue with LibKRB5\_FOUND (I didn’t look for others).

Thanks, does look like these wouldn't work as intended for CMake \<
3.3, but I've merged Daniel's patch in to master now.
