Hey Bill, thanks, I kindof did that by taking Nobuyoshi's suggestion and 
hacking the extconf.rb file, which now runs. The make fails though, like 
this:

Vigor10:~/Documents/Downloads/net-geoip-0.06 matt$ make
gcc -I. -I. -I/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.8.1 -I. 
-DRUBY_EXTCONF_H=\"extconf.h\" -O -pipe -I/opt/local/include -fno-common 
-g -Wall-O -pipe -I/opt/local/include  -fno-common -pipe -fno-common 
-I/opt/local/include  -c geoip.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wall-O"
make: *** [geoip.o] Error 1

bummer. I don't expect anyone here on the ruby forums to help me with 
this, the link to ruby is rather tenuous now! I'm guessing maybe MaxMind 
haven't tried building this on OSX. I've emailed MaxMind support so I'll 
see what they say.

Any tips on where else I might be able to ask for help with this gcc 
issue?

cheers,
Matt
