The current version of xmonad in darcs doesn't compile for me: [6 of 6] Compiling Main ( Main.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/Main.o )

Maybe a dependency is missing from the configure step? Any ideas? I was able to compile from darcs two weeks ago.
to run the darcs version of Xmonad you need the darcs version of X11-extras.

ps: there should be a clear note in the README. This is also a V(ery)FAQ... ;)
Quoth the README: Notes for using the darcs version If you're building the darcs version of xmonad, be sure to also use the darcs version of X11-extras, which is developed concurrently with xmonad. darcs get http://code.haskell.org/X11-extras Not using X11-extras from darcs, is the most common reason for the darcs version of xmonad to fail to build. Hopefully, this, along with Cabal checking, will help out the darcs users avoiding this problem
