Okay, getting close... it looks like something strange is going on with your mtl. Can you post the output of "ghc-pkg list | grep mtl"? (Note that this is different than "ghc-pkg list mtl" -- there are a few different packages all with mtl in their name.)
$ ghc-pkg list | grep mtl mtl-1.1.0.2 mtl-2.0.1.0 Incidentally, $ ghc-pkg list mtl /var/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d mtl-1.1.0.2 /home/michaeln/.ghc/i386-linux-6.12.1/package.conf.d mtl-2.0.1.0 I guess this is bad. Presumably mixing the two worlds is causing me pain. I'm happy to dump the apt stuff if that's the right way forward.
Also, please tell us how you installed xmonad -- did you build it yourself from one of the releases on the website, or did you install it from your package manager? (If the latter, you might consider installing xmonad-contrib from your package manager as well.)
It's from the Ubuntu apt. I also installed xmonad-contrib from the same place. Well, strictly the package installed is libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev
You might want to hop on #xmonad, too, for a more interactive debugging experience.
When I'm next able to give it some sustained time, I'll try bugging anyone there that happens to be awake; thanks. Michael
