Issue 93: "unclean" reinstallation of xmonad fails to restart (sometimes) http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=93 New issue report by valery.vv: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. for d in xmonad XMonadContrib; do (cd $d && darcs pull -a); done 2. configure/build/install xmonad and XMonadContrib, omitting the `clean' step 3. make sure configuration is OK: ghci -Wall ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs 4. restart xmonad What is the expected output? What do you see instead? xmonad fails with linker error message (see below), reverting to default configuration. NOTE: most of "unclean" reinstallations are OK, but sometimes the problem manifests. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? The latest xmonad and XMonadContrib from darcs; Linux (Debian testing); GHC 6.6.1 Please provide any additional information below. ----- BEGIN OF ERROR MESSAGE ----- $ cat .xmonad/xmonad.errors /home/vvv/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.4/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib- 0.4.a(LayoutModifier.o): In function `sLf0_1_alt': ghc11675_0.hc:(.text+0xcb9): undefined reference to `xmonadzm0zi4_XMonadziCore_lvl21_closure' /home/vvv/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.4/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib- 0.4.a(LayoutModifier.o): In function `sLeY_info': ghc11675_0.hc:(.text+0xcdd): undefined reference to `xmonadzm0zi4_XMonadziCore_lvl21_closure' /home/vvv/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.4/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib- 0.4.a(LayoutModifier.o): In function `sLeR_info': ghc11675_0.hc:(.text+0xd5b): undefined reference to `xmonadzm0zi4_XMonadziCore_lvl21_closure' /home/vvv/lib/xmonad-contrib-0.4/ghc-6.6.1/libHSxmonad-contrib- 0.4.a(LayoutModifier.o):(.rodata+0x3c): undefined reference t collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ----- END OF ERROR MESSAGE ----- It doesn't look good (for me) to go throught complete reinstallation procedure (with `runhaskell Setup.lhs clean') each time I update from darcs. It's time-consuming... and I expect compiler to correctly handle references. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.
