Thanks,

I think you need to run autoconf && autoheader (or autoreconf) first, before running Setup configure? I could be confused, but see if that helps. If that's what the problem is, the documentation definitely needs updating. -Brent

I'd need to see the exact message, but on some systems, notably OSX, the X headers are a little hard to find. This documents the issue: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#X11_fails_t... This was improved in the darcs branch of X11, at http://darcs.haskell.org/X11 if you're interested. -- Don
