Hi Shawn,

you can compile OSSEC from sources without enabling GeoIP by following 
these steps:

   - Download OSSEC source code: git clone 
   https://github.com/ossec/ossec-hids.git
   - Install GCC compiler and Make tool if you haven't them:
      - sudo apt-get install gcc make [Debian/Ubuntu]
      - sudo yum install gcc make [CentOS]
      - sudo dnf install gcc make [Fedora]
   - Compile OSSEC: make -C src TARGET=server
   - Install OSSEC: sudo ./install.sh

This way, OSSEC won't include GeoIP support.


Hope it helps.

Best regards.

Victor.
