My xmonad.hs: import XMonad main = xmonad defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask , terminal = "xterm" } but after restart xmonad I get the following error message Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/yuliang/.xmonad/xmonad.hs xmonad.hs:1:7: Could not find module `XMonad': it is a member of the hidden package `xmonad-0.9' Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. Please check the file for errors. -- Sincerely, Yuliang Wang

What does "ghc-pkg check" say? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com Samuel Goldwyn - "I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/samuel_goldwyn.html

xmonad-0.9 shouldn't be a hidden package... something must be wrong with your xmonad installation. If the only problem is that xmonad-0.9 is hidden, you can correct this with: $ ghc-pkg expose xmonad-0.9 But "ghc-pkg check" might have more to say. Also "ghc-pkg list" -- Adam

The "ghc-pkg check" says There are problems in package xmonad-0.9.1: dependency X11-1.5.0.0 doesn't exist The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem listed above, or because they depend on a broken package. xmonad-0.9.1 I installed xmonad through pacman in Arch Linux.

Hi, 2010/1/10 Yuliang Wang :

The "ghc-pkg check" says

The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem listed above, or because they depend on a broken package. xmonad-0.9.1

I installed xmonad through pacman in Arch Linux.

You didn't by any chance install xmonad from AUR? Because there is a package named "xmonad-darcs 20091222-1" and this package has a dependency to X11-1.5.0.0, which is in [community-testing]. If you really want to use this version you need to set up [community-testing] in /etc/pacman.conf, refresh the database (pacman -S --refresh) and install haskell-x11 from it. However, I'm using [core], [extra] and [community] only. The latter supplies xmonad and xmonad-contrib in version 0.9-2.1. Does everything I want. The drawback of AUR packages is that you need to take of any updates yourself, because AUR doesn't handle those. So if you really want to use it, but you don't update regularly, your xmonad install will eventually become older than the one supplied by [community]. Which is why I would recommend you use xmonad from [community]. HTH & HAND Christian Walther

Maybe I have installed it before by using PKGBUILD, and haven't uninstalled it properly. How do you uninstall a package built by PKGBUILD? On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 3:50 PM, Christian Walther wrote:

I checked using yaourt -Ss, it shows the installed version is community/xmonad0.9-2.1. On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 3:50 PM, Christian Walther wrote:

I uninstalled xmonad-contrib, xmonad, haskell-x11 and reinstalled only from community, but I still get the same error saying xmonad-0.9 is hidden, even after I used "ghc-pkg expose xmonad-0.9" On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 6:55 PM, Yuliang Wang wrote:
