Installation Steps
* Install ghc, darcs, and if available, cabal-install through your distro. Any combo of versions from the past 4 years or so that your distro has decided are compatible with one another are fine.
* If cabal-īnstall isn't available in your repos, follow the simple instructions linked from the installation page: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal-Install#Unix
* In a convenienct directory like ~/repos or the like, run the following commands:
$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad
Fetching a hashed repository would be faster. Perhaps you could persuade the maintainer to run darcs optimize --upgrade with darcs 2.4.0 or higher?
$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib
Got the 'hash' message too, and also: Finished getting. Warning: CRC errors found. These are probably harmless but should be repaired. See 'darcs gzcrcs --help' for more information. Blew away repo, re-darcs-ed it. Same error. But "it compiled, so it must be fine"... right? ;) - Allen S. Rout
