As said, I've it working fine here, I used the following steps:

apt-get install xtables-addons-common libtext-csv-xs-perl
mkdir -p /usr/share/xt_geoip
cd /usr/lib/xtables-addons
./xt_geoip_dl
./xt_geoip_build -D /usr/share/xt_geoip *.csv

then restart the firewall script with the iptables geoip rules.

But: this is on physical host nodes only, don't know if it works also
in virtual systems like openvz containers on the host
