in status report getting informed about that "phpwhois library is missing"

"Whois module requires phpWhois library to do whois queries. Download phpWhois and put it's contents in modules/whois directory (so that it looks something like this: modules/whois/phpwhois/example.php)."

BUT ... the library IS located in place ... and i can understand why this error occurs in status report ?

I'm guessing that you have the libraries API module but placed phpwhois in the module directory...

The code currently doesn't look there once it detects the libraries API.

Should be fixed in: http://drupalcode.org/project/whois.git/commit/637c859

Hi !

We're trying to use this module with Drupal 7.8 and the Libraries module, but we get the same error. Other libraries (superfish, ckeditor, etc.) work fine.

phpWhois has been downloaded and decompressed here:

/sites/all/libraries/phpwhois

Inside this directory reside the whois.*.php files. Is this correct ?

Thanks for all suggestions.

Here are the directions we followed:
3a. With libraries API
* unpack in sites/..../libraries/
* rename the directory to just 'phpwhois'

The commit from #1 had not yet been included in a release.

I had hoped to include some more updates in 1.2, but as this is clearly taking too long.

1.2 release has been released and should be available shortly.

The packaging system is showing an error. So I', not sure when the 1.2 will be available.

The 7.x-1.x-dev release has the same code, please try that one if you don't want to wait.
