Does "ghc-pkg check" complain?

Is the version of GHC being used the same one that was used to build xmonad-contrib?

What does "ghc-pkg field xmonad-contrib exposed-modules | grep LayoutHints" say?

It seems that it is not a xmonad problem as xmond just call ghc directly. %cd ~/.xmonad %ghc --make xmonad.hs xmonad.hs:20:7: Could not find module `XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote:

I suggest you either go on #xmonad and ask the people there, or send an email to the xmonad mailing list with your config attached.

I have reinstall ghc, xmonad and xmonad-contrib but it still doesnot work! %ghc-pkg list|grep xmonad xmonad-0.9.1 xmonad-contrib-0.9.1 %cat /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d/xmonad-contrib-0.9.1-e073c906e3b29eb062e632e9bb989664.conf|grep LayoutHints XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints %ls /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/site-local/xmonad-contrib-0.9.1/XMonad/Layout/LayoutHints.hi ../site-local/xmonad-contrib-0.9.1/XMonad/Layout/LayoutHints.hi LayoutHints is indeed there. But ghc still cannot find it ! Thanks for your suggestion. i will try #xmonad and xmond mailinglist later! Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote:

Well, yes, except that it might be something else to do with your config, etc. and as such the xmonad mailing list is probably more relevant.

`ghc-pkg list` finds two random packages.  After `ghc-pkg unregsiter` the one installed by cabal in ~/.ghc/, all works normally now!

I stopped counting the number of times I've reinstalled GHC because I forgot to tell cabal to install a package globally. I really should modify the config file. David.
