Hi all, I made a somewhat desultory attempt at compiling xmonad, and am sad to admit that I've failed, mostly because I've never learned to use cabal. Yes, I'm terribly old-fashioned and out-of-date... In the X11-extras directory I run: ./Setup.lhs configure --prefix=/home/droundy ./Setup.lhs build ./Setup.lhs install and install fails because of lack of permissions. It seems that I could instead use ./Setup.lhs copy, but then when I configure xmonad, cabal fails to find X11-extras. Any suggestions? Also, the configure step in X11-extras doesn't seem to bother checking whether the xinerama library is present. Is this a bug in X11-extras, or in cabal? I certainly would hope that cabal would have the functionality to check for presence of libraries... -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
