Niko,
I can't help further.
My advice is to check in general how to install a library on centos.
Run the commands I send earlier one by one and fix any errors before you run the next command.
maybe your system does not include /usr/local/lib in your ld.conf file. as far as I can see the problems are related to your system configuration.
Have a nice day

Can you please tell me what is goinf on here an i cant successfully install 'maxminddb' so i can use it from within my python3 scripts?

Installing bleeding edge / beta software, like Geoip2 :
The suggestion is to use a later Fedora (CentOS 6 is Fedora 12 based)
like Fedora 19, where python-2.7.5 will handle Geoip2 OK :
# yum install python-pip

# pip install maxminddb : No issues.

# pip install geoip2 : OK

Ref. #18, #19 .

CentOS 6 : GeoIP version 1.4.8 is available from the EPEL repository..
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pu...l-release.html
> epel-release-6-8.noarch >>
http://ftp.crc.dk/fedora-epel/6/i386...6-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# yum install GeoIP
... ( If you haven't destroyed yum with the alien Python3.)

GeoIP 2 : You can install Fedora 19 on
a spare partition / a spare hard disk / a spare computer.

Its ok i deciced to use geoip version 1 (that is 'pygeoip')

Can you please:

1. Help me unistall current Python 3.3.2 because the support team wrongly putted it inside /usr/local
2. install proplery Python 3.3.3

?

# 21 .

It will probably be easier to delete the python3 files,
when you have the new Python 3.3.x present in /opt/.
Then you can identify exactly which files to delete in /usr/local/.

Installing Python-3.3.x :
( There is no Python-3.3.3 AFAIK. 3.3.2 is the stable version )
3.3.2 http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3...n-3.3.2.tar.xz
( http://www.python.org/download/ )
$ tar xvf Python-3.3.2.tar.xz
$ cd Python-3.3.2/
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/python3
$ make ( A few minutes to finish, on my Intel i7 920.)
$ su <Enter-root-password>
# make install

Using : $ /opt/python3/bin/python3.3 <etc. etc.>
