Hi folks,

I'm not a haskell programmer but I succesfully built xmonaf-contrib from darcs many times. Today it does not work:

------------------------------8<------------------------------- Configuring xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... Preprocessing library xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... Building xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... [ 85 of 208] Compiling XMonad.Util.Image ( XMonad/Util/Image.hs, dist/build/XMonad/Util/Image.o )

XMonad/Util/Image.hs:24:39:    Module `XMonad.Util.Font' does not export `fi' ------------------------------8<-------------------------------

Having just looked at the repo, XMonad.Util.Font does indeed export fi: http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/XMonad/Util/Font.hs

I'm guessing you pulled in the middle of some patch pushes. Try pulling and building again, possibly doing a "cabal clean" (or "runhaskell Setup.lhs clean") before building.

Somebody else brought up the same error in #xmonad, which was fixed by cleaning the repo first. Evidently ghc (or cabal) can't figure out that some files need to be recompiled when imports are rearranged. But I couldn't come up with a small test case, or even reproduce it by asking darcs to remove and then apply the (most likely) problematic patch: Mon Sep 13 19:38:50 EDT 2010 Adam Vogt * Remove last excess definition of `fi' (fromIntegral) Perhaps the difference in timestamps isn't the same.
