Hello,

I've been using xmonad from darcs. Today I pulled the latest version and, after compiling xmonad, I found it segfaults during the startup. I'm running a debian 4.0 (etch) and I've installed X11 1.4.1 on my local user.

Almost certainly this is because you have a partially recompiled xmonad. Please do a full make clean, then try again.

runhaskell Setup.lhs clean

then rebuild.

Same for any config repo you use.

That doesn't seem the issue because I would always delete xmonad-new directory and recreate it using

$ darcs get xmonad --to-patch=patchname xmonad-new

in order to find out which patch broke it. Just in case I just did:

$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad --to-patch="Core.hs: add an Applicative" xmonad-new

and compiled it. Sure enough, xmonad segfaulted on startup.

As far as I see from your config, you also use xmonad contrib library. Have you recompiled it as well? -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)
