Problem Description

I was following https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html
I cloned master branch
I then stack install according to the guide above

kkweon:xmonad/ $ stack install                                                                               [11:04:38]

This is odd; dynamic Haskell objects or libraries shouldn't be built or looked for by default, unless you're using the system packages on Arch (only). Do you by any chance have a ~/.cabal/config file?

No, but I clean installed everything; now it worked. Thanks for the hint!
