Cannot compile even with default conf file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. fresh install xmonad
2. copy default conf from /usr/share/xmonad/ghc/man/xmonad.hs to 
~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
3. run `xmonad --recompile`

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the conf compiled without error.
I saw compilation error saying:

xmonad.hs:132:64: Not in scope: `help' 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

xmonad 0.11-r1
ghc 7.6.2 with gentoo-haskell overlay.

OS: gentoo

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

xmonad.hs == default conf under "man" directory

Please provide any additional information below.

This has been fixed in darcs since the patch named "Copy help binding from 
XMonad.Config to man/xmonad.hs", but thanks for the report!

I've checked out code in darcs and found "Copy help binding ..." you mentioned.

But I'm still sufferring from this problem even after updating to xmonad-9999 
(haskell overlay)

`diff /usr/share/xmonad-9999/ghc-7.6.2/man/xmonad.hs ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs` 
showed no difference.

I've uploaded my conf & error report in case there're helpful for you.

Hm, you're right. I have these patches lying around from some time ago, but it 
seems they haven't been applied in the main repository. I'm not sure whether 
that's because I just forgot to send them or what, but here they are. I 
remembered seeing this fixed and just grepped the darcs log (on a different 
machine) without checking that the patch I referred to was really the fix. 
Thanks for your persistence.

Thanks for your quick reply, I've applied the patch, and now it can be compiled 
without error :)
