@solarcellsky do you know if ncursesw is in the ports tree? have you tried without --enable-utf8?

./configure --enable-geoip

[allinurl]

just following on this, were you able to install it with wide-character/UTF-8 support?

You may also want to try using $ brew install goaccess

[allinurl]

Closing this, feel free to reopen it if necessary.

[somandubey]

No it did not work for me either..

even without --enable-utf8

[allinurl]

Are you getting the same error? Also, are you able to run any other ncurses-based program? You may need to install it through brew.

[Vaviloff]

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 with ncurses-dev installed.
Was able to compile without --enable-utf8

[allinurl]

To use --enable-utf8 you need to install ncursesw. The following should do it in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev

[Vaviloff]

Oh, thanks a lot. That solved it!

[xokvictor]

Thx!

[webuniverseio]

I'm on debian 7, I had to install apt-get install libncurses5-dev to make it work.

[Wislow]

I had same problem, but I figure it out that I didn't have geoIP Library. So, I found this site and install the library. (My server is centOS)
http://www.spidersoft.com.au/2012/how-to-install-geoip-extension-on-centos/

yum install GeoIP-devel

and after install this library, I commanded,

sudo ./configure --enable-geoip

then Makefile was created (not Makefile.in or Makefile.am), and I could execute the command "make" !

hope somebody get help from this comment!
thanks.

apt-get install libgeoip-dev
apt-get install libncurses5-dev

[allinurl]

Please use libncursesw5-dev. Table here

# apt get install libncursesw5-dev libgeoip-dev

[sjash]

I'm using Centos 6.6 and when I tried to install GeoIP-devel it is showing dependency for Geo-IP. But after downlaoding it,it is again asking for GeoIP-data and when I tried GeoIP-data it is asking for Geo-IP.

Please Help.Thanks in advance.

[allinurl]

Please try:

yum install GeoIP GeoIP-devel GeoIP-data

Otherwise, please take a look at this answer.

[swooningfish]

@Wislow You need to also pull the ncurses-devel

yum install ncurses-devel

[chhantyal]

For Ubuntu sudo apt-get install libgeoip-dev

[ustcltx]

I'd be grateful if anyone can help Me.

[allinurl]

@ustcltx Seems like you are building from development? In any event, usually you have to do autoreconf again after installing any dep, please run:

$ sudo autoreconf -fiv
$ ./configure --enable-geoip --enable-utf8

[bfleming-ciena]

yum install geoip

[Rebolon]

for me on centos6 it worked with this: sudo yum install ncurses-devel

[thachnv92]

apt-get install libgeoip-dev
apt-get install libncurses5-dev

many thank ^^

What is the difference between

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libncurses5-dev

and

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libncursesw5-dev

?

Maybe: https://github.com/avanov/ansible-galaxy-pyenv/issues/44

@thachnv92 libncursesw5 - shared libraries for terminal handling (wide character legacy version).

[bor8]

What is a wide character?
