I'm currently working on an application that needs some [GeoIP functions](http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.geoip.php), I've gotten the extension from <http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/geoip/1.0.8/> however, i'm having some difficulties installing the extension on xampp for windows. Please i need help on this...

To install geoip on debian lenny:

```
wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
sudo mkdir -v /usr/share/GeoIP
