Xmonad Configuration

If I run xmonad --recompile it seems to work just fine, but when I restart xmonad, it does not use my configuration (~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs) it uses the default settings.  I'm using xmonad 0.8, ghc 6.8.  I probably had this same problem with xmonad 0.7, but I can't remember how I solved it.  Could someone reshresh my memory?

Re: Xmonad Configuration

Did you compile as root or as user (i.e. is xmonad in ~/bin/xmonad?).

Build it like this:

    $ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --user --prefix=$HOME
    $ runhaskell Setup.lhs build
    $ runhaskell Setup.lhs install --user

Re: Xmonad Configuration

This is how I built it:

$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --user
$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs build
$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs install --user

I tried installing it your way, but it didn't work and I don't like to have things installed into $HOME,
as I like my home dir clean.

EDIT: I tried it your way, still didn't work
