ntop fails to upgrade with error "GeoIP library is missing"

[stephen.marshall@…]

despite having the libGeoIP installed, sudo port install ntop fails during configure with error "Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)"

investigating the log shows:

:info:configure checking GeoIP.h usability... yes
:info:configure checking GeoIP.h presence... yes
:info:configure checking for GeoIP.h... yes
:info:configure checking for GeoIP_open in -lGeoIP... no
:info:configure configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_ntop/ntop/work/ntop-3.3.10':
:info:configure configure: error: GeoIP library is missing

In the future, please Cc the port maintainer(s), fill in the Port field and use WikiFormatting. Also please attach the complete log.

ntop has been updated to 4.1.0 (see #31330). Did that help?

Afraid not, for some reason the checksums don't match:

Ok, so we actually don't know yet whether updating the ntop port to version 4.1.0 helped, because you're experiencing a new and unrelated problem with the libgeoip port. I'm not able to reproduce that problem; the checksums seem fine to me, and the file doesn't seem to have been updated in a year. Please "sudo port clean --all libgeoip" and "sudo port selfupdate" and try again, and if it still doesn't work, please file a new ticket about that.

Success! cleaning and reinstalling libgeoip separately seems to have fixed it. 4.1.0 installed without issues. Thanks for the update.

Great!
