Hi,
yes this looks alright. We should have only the one database any ways, but generally we should change all paths.
The reason why I was asking for this is, that it is probably a very good idea to keep in /usr and leave /usr/local for what it is intended to: Programs compiled by the user of the system.
Would you like to send this as a patch that I can merge? Testing shouldn't make any trouble.
Best, -Michael

Hi,
is there any chance that we can move the database from /usr/local to /usr instead? ...
If I got it right, this would be one line in lfs and perhaps the following patch (geoip_1_25_change_database_path.patch)!?

I think this is what you mean - would this be sufficient? I could give it a try...
