Oh, noooooo! I also had to add the "helloWorld :: X ()" line from later in the tutorial, to get it installed. Thanks. Ralph Am Mittwoch, den 27.01.2010, 13:17 -0500 schrieb wagnerdm@seas.upenn.edu:

It looks like you misspelled "XMonad" as "Xmonad" in your cabal file. ~d

I am just trying to follow this tutorial:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/xmonad_development_tutorial

As I would like to use cabal-install, I tried "cabal install" from the XMonadContrib directory to build and install the HelloWorld module, but I got an error message in section 2.3 of the tutorial:

Resolving dependencies... Configuring xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... Preprocessing library xmonad-contrib-0.9.1... cabal: can't find source for Xmonad.Actions.HelloWorld in ., dist/build/autogen cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: xmonad-contrib-0.9.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1

What's wrong?

Cheers,

Ralph
