Hi all, I managed to install ghc 6.10.4 from the tar ball on haskell.org on OpenSolaris 2009.06, the X11 package then also installed quite easily too via cabal-install. But when I tried a cabal install xmonad this error occured: guenni@opensolaris:~$ cabal install xmonad Resolving dependencies... Configuring xmonad-0.9... Preprocessing library xmonad-0.9...

The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 I may be wrong, but doesn't this indicate an error in xmonad's code itself, how can that be? Günther

Get the new 0.9.1 release of xmonad which works with the 1.5.0.0 release
of X11.
Otherwise, downgrade X11.
