 Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 4:06 am Post subject: XMonad issue post-installation |
 |
|
I've emerge xmonad, xmonad-contrib, and its dependencies.
After the installation I copied /usr/share/doc/xmonad-0.8.1/xmonad.hs to ~/.xmonad/, set xmonad to run in my xinitrc and started the wm.
For some reason however I get
xmonad.hs:13:17:
Could not find module `XMonad.StackSet':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
consistently. This being the default config there doesn't seem to be any difference with the config that xmonad defaults to however this is preventing me from using any other config which implements this module.
If you've ran into this issue or have some advice I'd be greatly indebted.
Thank you |

Looks like XMonad didn't get installed or registered correctly, or perhaps you changed ghc versions afterward? Like python or other toolchain bits if you change major compiler versions you'll need to rebuild things afterward. You could unmask and install app-admin/haskell-updater to rebuild haskell libs and apps for you whenever changed dependencies or toolchain requires it.
If you can, ask for help in irc on #gentoo-haskell, or, (probably quicker to get help:) #xmonad on freenode. This will likely be easier to troubleshoot that way. Otherwise please pastebin the output of and check that | Code: | | ghc-pkg list xmonad |
and | Code: | | ghc-pkg list xmonad-contrib |
list the right versions as installed in | Code: | | /some/path/to/package.conf |
. Also please pastebin your xmonad.hs somewhere just in case something's messed up there. If you're using the super verbose ones from man/xmonad.hs perhaps use wgetpaste or hpaste.org instead of putting it inline here. |

for now I'll stay on the forums and i'll ask later on #xmonad
here's the output of the requested commands: http://pastebin.com/f2d5ae63b |

Hmm, it can be confusing to run user installed and system installed versions at same time, but I've never had it give "module not found" errors unless the package install was really broken, which should show up when you run ghc-pkg check. Yours says everything is installed correctly.
I guess what I would do in this situation is choose only one of user or system install for xmonad and xmonad-contrib, uninstall all of them, then re-install. If that doesn't work something must be very strange with your install. I guess you could also try renaming your ~/.xmonad directory and starting from an empty one.
System install (recommended):
- ghc-pkg unregister --user xmonad
- emerge -a --depclean xmonad xmonad-contrib
- emerge -a xmonad-contrib # will pull xmonad too, and any other deps you don't have yet
For user installs:
A reason to choose cabal install method is to use darcs version of xmonad which has many more features currently, since has been so long since last release. However you can also install it with package manager. Use xmonad-contrib-darcs ebuild from haskell overlay. |
