Today I tried to build xmonad from the latest darcs source, and got an error message I don't understand. Here's the terminal session:

I'm running on a 32 bit machine, latest Ubuntu Intrepid. I'm not a Haskell programmer, just an enthusiastic Xmonad user. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I'd be happy to provide any information about my local setup that might prove useful. Oddly, I can build from source on my other machine, running 64 bit Ubuntu.
Thank you, drc
This is some sort of issue with your configuration. Specifically your Cabal library or one of its dependencies (directory or unix) seems to be broken. Try 'ghc-pkg unregister'ing those packages and reinstalling them. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
