xmonad crashing when attempting to load Xmobar

Good Afternoon!

I have set up my arch configuration and have copied my old xmonad.hs from my debian installation.
Everything works fine, save for when I attempt to load my xmobar configuration through a spawn Pipe :

xmobar <- spawnPipe"/usr/bin/xmobar"

This crashes my xmonad and the error message I get doesn't seem instructive ; is this a common problem, or is there something I should be looking for? (Or should I be using dzen? )

Hello sr_proxerino!

First of all: Did you read this wiki pages, and did you try to follow the instruction step by step ?

Re: xmonad crashing when attempting to load Xmobar

Can it be the lack of a space in between spawnPipe and "/usr/bin/xmobar"? Oh, and for the record, it can just be xmobar.

HI Djszapi and Greg! I did follow the instructions to the letter,  even copying the xmonad and import lines verbatim. Still bombs.

I piped the output to a nohup and I got the following:

firefox: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Looks like there's some issue with my X setup . . . never seen this resource temporarily unavailble before.
Interesting...

Re: xmonad crashing when attempting to load Xmobar

As a side test. Try spawning xmobar by hand, from a terminal.
