I am trying to learn and use xmonad. I have tried Thayer's config and Button's config and both get errors while loading. With Thayer's I get a "Could not find module `XMonad.Actions.FlexibleResize':" and with Buttons it is something about the XMonad.Stackset module. I haven't been able to get dzen2 to do anything but I am still playing with that.
I thought I installed everything so I am not sure what those errors are.

Where do you place your xmonad.hs? Have you tried running "ghci -v ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs" to check which files ghc is looking for?
Did you compile XMonad yourself or are you using the binary one from community? And, did you install xmonad-contrib-0.5?
BTW, you have to remove(--) XMonad.Layouts from xmonad.hs to get it to work with XMonad 0.5.

I did use the binary from community and I did install xmonad-contrib-0.5
When I run 'ghci -v ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs' this is the ending error
/home/bmartin/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:24:17:
Could not find module `XMonad.Actions.FlexibleResize':
locations searched:
XMonad/Actions/FlexibleResize.hs
XMonad/Actions/FlexibleResize.lhs
Failed, modules loaded: none.

It seems that your xmonad-contrib-0.5 is not in your path. Add the correct path to your .bashrc.
Offline
sorry if this is a stupid question but what is the correct path?
Offline
NP. Check the directory path of your xmonad-contrib-0.5 and add the directory path to your PATH in .bashrc. Like so
Edit: yourpathhere = the path to your xmonad-contrib-0.5 lib.
PATH=$PATH:YOURPATHERE
Then write "source .bashrc" in your terminal and try to reconfig xmonad.
Try it out.

I guess when I installed xmonad-contrib I got this error:
ghc-pkg: cannot find package xmonad-contrib-0.5
and also
ghc-pkg: dependency X11-1.4.0 doesn't exist (use --force to override)
Offline
Ok.
EDIT: hehe.. being a bit fast here.. X11-1.4.0 is in the community repo. Get it with pacman -Sy and try again..
As a temporary workaround you could compile xmonad-contrib-0.5 yourself and follow the instructions in the README file. Then add ~/bin and ~/lib to your .bashrc path. Its really easy to compile. Download, untar and read the README. Then copy/paste the compilation commands and execute them one by one and add the above paths to your .bashrc.
That's what I did.
You can find it here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/arc … 0.5.tar.gz
Hey, but you still need the X-11 lib. Get it here and follow the same instructions.
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/arc … 4.0.tar.gz

Personally, I think the easiest way to get everything installed and working is to use the Wiki entry:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad
This will get you setup with the 'darcs' version of xmonad, which is the up-to-date snapshot. It's very stable and you won't need to add PATH's or modify any additional files just to get started.
PS: Since the PKGBUILDs for the darcs edition are 'version-less' you can simply re-run makepkg whenever you want to upgrade, for example:
$ makepkg -Sif

I am getting a terminus font error though.

Thayer I just installed the darcs version and now it is looking for the modules in my home/lib dir is this right?
**** Nevermind I fixed this issue. But I am still getting a terminus font error?

What is the error you are receiving? Is it related to starting dzen? If so, this is the string I use for Terminus:
-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
For example:
dzen -fn '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'

I am using that string exactly and I am getting a
dzen: error, cannot load font: '-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'
*** EDIT ***
I fixed that problem so nevermind that. Thanks
There was a typo in the xorg.conf font path oops.
