X11 package installation problem..
I wanted to install xmonad; the X11 package however does not build:
runhaskell Setup.hs build Preprocessing library X11-1.2.2... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status linking Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o failed command was: ghc -lX11 Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o -o Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make Setup.hs: got error code while preprocessing: Graphics.X11.Types
The buildinfo has this: -- X11.buildinfo. Generated from X11.buildinfo.in by configure. -- System-dependent values used by Distribution.Simple.defaultUserHooks -- buildable: True cc-options: -I/usr/X11R6/include ld-options: -L/usr/X11R6/lib And they seem all right. Can someone please help to get past this? Regards, Madhu Rao

Do you actually have the X11 development files installed? If so, what did 'runhaskell Setup.hs configure' say? Stefan

Sorry for not being clear earlier, but I thought, I was actually trying to install these X11 development files you mention:
I first did:

Yup, it's what I wanted. If autoconf can find Xlib but ghc can't, this is almost certainly a GHC bug... (be sure to include your system information, those paths are pretty unusual) http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=bug Stefan

I did manage to build X11 and the X11-extras package. I removed the extra libs from cabal and aliased ghc to ghc -LX11. The problem seems to be with the lower case "-l" that the compiler was passed due to extra libs. The installation happened all right. Now, however, I have another problem during xmonad build; presumably these is related to the work-around I figured? ~/xmonad-0.2 <216> runhaskell Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.2...

Stefan, Thanks for the help. I did manage to build X11 and the X11-extras package. I removed the extra libs from cabal and aliased ghc to ghc -LX11. The problem seems to be with the lower case "-l" that the compiler was passed due to extra libs. The installation happened all right.

Your workaround is completely false. -LX11 adds a nonexistant directory to the library search path, and as such does absolutely nothing. Since the library X11 is not selected, it cannot find the X11 functions! Library linking under Unix is quite lazy, and the missing dependancies are not found until xmonad is linked. GHC is apparently unable to use the path found by autoconf; try adding -L/usr/X11R6/lib to the Ghc-options. (after putting -lX11 back in and unaliasing ghc). If this doesn't work, file a bug. Stefan

See http://xmonad.org/faq.html#x11 . Locate libX11.so on your system and add the path to extra-lib-dirs.
