Thanks - no errors shown.
Once you've installed xmonad and xmonad-contrib, you probably have everything you need for XMonad, unless you're doing something really fancy. I suspect the problem is that the example you're following is out of date. I believe some things in the contrib packages moved, got renamed, or got replaced with something similar.
I've been using Xmonad for years, but I only know about the configuration stuff that I myself use. But there's an Xmonad mailing list that is very friendly and should be able to answer your question quickly.

BTW, Xmonad rocks!
Many thanks for this link. I had thought that this _was_ the xmonad mailing list - I didn't know about the place you mention. I will follow it up. I have been much impressed with xmonad so far. I have managed to do some basic configuring, mainly to change the default mod key. Actually, most of the defaults are fine for me - I mainly use fullscreen - but it would be nice to experiment with some of the contrib stuff. -- Anthony Campbell - ac@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell
