geoip-c Ruby Bindings via FFI

Requirements

  • the ffi extension for Ruby.

  • the GeoIP library version 1.5 or higher. Lower versions may work to some extent but this is untested.

Features

ffi-geoip is an FFI-based implementation of the native GeoIP Ruby bindings. This gem mimics the native GeoIP bindings as closely as possible and should be directly compatible. To test this, you can run the tests using the native bindings via the ‘USE_BINARY` environment variable and they should also succeed. A simple use-case for this extension is for, say, JRuby, where the native GeoIP gem is not available.
