For a little while now, I've been unable to compile xmonad-contrib from darcs. Now that the repo is back up, I tried again, but am still getting the same error as before:
[ 34 of 212] Compiling XMonad.Hooks.ICCCMFocus ( XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs, dist/build/XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.o )
XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:43:17: Ambiguous occurrence `atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS' It could refer to either `XMonad.Hooks.ICCCMFocus.atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS', defined at XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:34:0 or `XMonad.atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS', imported from XMonad at XMonad/Hooks/ICCCMFocus.hs:27:0-12
This is with ghc 6.12.3, and version 1.5.0.0 of the haskell X11 libraries. Is there something amiss with my xmonad/haskell setup, or is there an error in the current darcs xmonad-contrib?
It compiles fine for me with the same versions of ghc and X11. Try this and let us know if you are still having problems:
OK.
- First, have you pulled all the most recent patches from the xmonad core and contrib repositories with 'darcs pull'?
It appears so: $ cd xmonad/; darcs pull Pulling from "http://code.haskell.org/xmonad"... No remote changes to pull in! $ cd ../XMonadContrib; darcs pull Pulling from "http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib"... No remote changes to pull in!
- cd into the directory with the xmonad core repo and do 'cabal clean; cabal install'. - Do the same (cabal clean; cabal install) in the contrib repo.
Hmmm. I'm using the gentoo darcs ebuilds, and don't have the cabal command line tool installed. I could have installed it temporarily for testing, but instead I tried taking the sledgehammer approach, nuked the xmonad and XMonadContrib repositories completely, and installed afresh. I seem to recall trying this before without success (sometime before code.haskell.org went down). But I should have tried it again, because this time the clean install worked fine. Maybe I was hitting the old atom_WM_TAKE_FOCUS issues when I tried before, and somehow the old code hadn't been cleaned out properly by darcs pull. Who knows. Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me out, and sorry for the noise. Toby -- Dr T. S.
