glibc version issues for xmonad and ghc
When I first tried to install xmonad, pacman could not resolve the ghc dependency that severial packages including xmonad and xmonad-contrib had. This was because the extra repository only had ghc 7.0.2-1 and these packages needed ghc 7.0.3. I then included the testing repo in my /etc/pacman.conf and installed haskell-platform. I did not get anymore dependency errors and was able to install xmonad and friends without any problems. Only problem is that I don't seem to have the right version of the glibc and am wondering if there is a way to fix this without compiling ghc.
When I run ghc:
/usr/lib/ghc-7.0.3/ghc: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.3/ghc)
When I run xmonad:
xmonad: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by xmonad)
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: glibc version issues for xmonad and ghc
I don't get this.
Is it really normal that a community package (haskell-utf8-string) needs a version of ghc that is not in extra; forcing people to go with the test branch ?
I can understand it might happen with AUR packages but I am a bit surprised it does with community as well.
I guess I expect too much from "community" ;-)
Cheers,
