Hi,

We are trying to install IRStats with eprints3. Since the  MaxMind database
is a commercial package, we did not installed it.
I then configure ./irstats/etc/irstats.conf file to comment of the 2 lines
of the use of the database:
# geo-ip
#geo_ip_country_file = /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
#geo_ip_org_file = /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPOrg.dat

But when I run:
./irstats/var/www/cgi-bin/irstats.cgi update_table

I still get error message:
Error opening /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Geo/IP/PurePerl.pm line 105.

Can anybody figure out what is the problem?
since the IRstats discuss and IRstats commits group are both very lack of
traffic, I first post my question here and expect somebody install this
package has some clue for me.

Thank you very much.

Only the Organisation database is commercial, the country database 
(GeoIP.dat) is free and is required.

I left both of these lines uncommented in our config and it seems
to work even though we don't have GeoIPOrg.dat.

When I say "work", I mean bits of it display graphs, sometimes,
but other times it produces a bogus error, and none of the graphs
seem to have much data in despite running update_table. I suspect
it's unhappy about cohabiting with EPrints/mod_perl, but I really
don't want to set up a separate server for it (for each of our
repositories!)
