That’s because the original post contains the error: single hyphen (-) and not double (–).

Your firefox is working just fine. It’s typo on this post.

Thanks Anoop, it works now. Problem was, I was copying from Firefox and pasting into the terminal window…for some reason Firefox is not processing the double hyphen as two hyphens but rather as an em dash - thus the terminal was interpreting it as a single hyphen.

Its a double hyphen.. The error clearly states that the (double hyphen ) prefix is taken as a variable and not as an option

I get the following error when trying to configure:

$ sudo ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/geoip –exec-prefix=/usr/local/geoip
configure: error: invalid variable name: –prefix

I’m running Ubuntu 8.04 Server Edition, and this is the latest MaxMind API, GeoIP-1.4.5 .
