Won't start

I followed the install instructions but get the following error messages if I reload xmonad with the new config:

xmonad.hs:18:1: error:

    Perhaps you meant

Could you check if you have XMonadContrib (the one within this repo) installed successfully?

[student-sx]

Now I found some free time to try it again from beginning but now I get the message:

cannot satisfy -package-id xmonad-0.12-FUpDXVryp86B9yS3zn4k4c

while running cabal install inside of ~/.xmonad

[lingnand]

You should run cabal install inside the xmonad directory instead of ~/.xmonad

[student-sx]

Same problem when running it inside of /path/to/VIMonad/xmonad

This looks like a problem with your cabal installation. You might want to completely remove your haskell installation (delete everything within ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc) and try again.

[student-sx]

I reinstalled cabal-install and ghc and removed ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc but get the same error again.

[lingnand]

Use -v as suggested?
