Xmonad practically unconfigurable!

Intrepid · 2008-12-31 07:24:36

My xmonad.hs reads like so:

import XMonad

main = xmonad $ defaultConfig
        { borderWidth           = 2
        , terminal              = "gnome-terminal"
        , normalBorderColor     = "#cccccc"
        , focusedBorderColor    = "#4400cc" }

So it's a very simple configuration. However, ghci as well as Xmonad give me an error. Running ghci -v xmonad.hs gave me this result:

xmonad.hs:1:7:
    Could not find module `XMonad':
      locations searched:
        XMonad.hs
        XMonad.lhs
Failed, modules loaded: none.

I even tried doing the gnome configuration, but it did not work. Simply, it's impossible to import Xmonad files; can anybody lead me in the right direction? I have xmonad-contrib installed too.

Your config file appears to be set up correctly. I would recommend reinstalling xmonad to make sure you installed it in the right order. From the wiki you should install them as such:
* haskell-x11-darcs
* xmonad-darcs
* xmonad-contrib-darcs

This is assuming that you are using xmonad-darcs.

Actually, I compiled xmonad-darcs as per your suggestion. I had no problem afterward. This is in complete contrast to the repos. Thanks for the suggestion!

PS: how do I mark this as solved?

edit your first post and prepend [SOLVED] to the title

You probably miss haskell-x11.

Are you using ghc from testing? I think the repo's version of xmonad won't work with it because the directory where modules are found changes between version changes.
