This issue will be fixed in upcoming 0.9.0.

Strange, I've just upgraded GeoIP to 1.4.6 from 1.4.4 on my FreeBSD host:

>pkg_info | grep GeoIP
GeoIP-1.4.6         Find the country that any IP address or hostname originates

And nginx have been built without issues. Besides, there is
GeoIP_region_name_by_code() function in lib GeoIP library:

>strings /usr/local/lib/libGeoIP.so | grep GeoIP_region_name_by_code
GeoIP_region_name_by_code
