Hy, if I understood you right I think the following thing is the problem: You have to execute the following AS YOUR USER (not as root): #for xmonad: runhaskell Setup.lhs --user --prefix=${HOME} configure runhaskell Setup.lhs build runhaskell Setup.lhs install #for XMonadContrib exactly the same as above. If you do this, Cabal registers the Packages automatically and xmonad should find them. Greetings from Germany Dominik
My xmonad source is here: /root/xmonad/xmonad-0.5 I did this for root (entered as root): runhaskell Setup configure runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install The executable and xmonad.hs are here: /root/.xmonad
I did this for username (entered as root): runhaskell Setup configure --user --prefix=/home/username runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install --user The executable and xmonad.hs are here: /home/username/.xmonad -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik@dbruhn.de
