i have installed Xmonad through pacman, and it works no problem, but now i have created a ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file and xmoand doesnt start anymore, but when i remove the file it works no problems.
my xmonad.hs looks like this:
import XMonad
main = xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ borderWidth=2 }

Hmm, even if it does have an error (which it does), xmonad should still run, using the same binary that it does when you don't have a config, or the previous ~/.xmonad/xmonad-$carch-linux, so maybe you have another problem...
To fix the syntax, you need to indent the { ... } at least one space, or keep it on the previous line; you can see the error messages by running xmonad --recompile, or installing xmessage, which then pops up when the keybinding to rebuild (M-q) triggers a failing build.
