Xmonad fresh install: xmessage says 'Error in xmonad.hs .....'

Hi all

I've installed xmonad with pacman:

pacman -S xmonad xnomad-contrib dmenu dzen2

and then i executed it via my .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

numlockx &                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                               
exec xmonad

But it keeps spitting out error messages when starting X

Any xmonad experts around here to review this file ??

You're missing closing brackets. A ")" behind the "True" and a "]" for closing the main keys' list. If you add those it should work.
