Setup.lhs: xmonad.cabal:25: 'Executable' stanza starting ...

Hi and Merry Christmas! I'm trying to get xmonad working on my Ubuntu Gusty install. I'm getting ideas from this link on how to install it (it's only for xmonad 0.4): http://erl.nfshost.com/wordpress/2007/11/02/installing-xmonad-on-ubuntu-guts... So for mtl-1.1.0 and X11-1.4.1 I do: sudo runhaskell Setup.* configure; runhaskell Setup.* build sudo runhaskell Setup.* install; For and xmonad-0.5 I do: pushd xmonad-0.5/; runhaskell Setup.* configure --prefix=$HOME --user; runhaskell Setup.* build runhaskell Setup.* install I get the following error for each of the "runhaskell" lines in the xmond-0.5 dir: Setup.lhs: xmonad.cabal:25: 'Executable' stanza starting with field 'flag small_base description' Here is the output of "ghc-pkg list" /usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.6.2, X11-1.4.1, base-2.1.1, filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6.1), haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0.1, mtl-1.1.0.0, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.72, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.1, unix-2.1 Any ideas?

xmonad 0.5 needs a newer version of Cabal. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH

Hi, feel free to try the debian packages here: http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/ The should probably work on ubuntu as well. If not, let me know and we can work it out. I also haven’t packaged the contribs yet, but I’ll do that (faster if I know people wait for them) Greetings, Joachim Am Montag, den 24.12.2007, 18:30 -0500 schrieb Jevin Maltais:

Have you received any Debian testers for these, Joachim? nomeata:
