Xmonad configuration file issue

Question

Hi, I am using Xmonad since long time now and it works well, execept I can not modify the configuration file xmonad.hs because there are some strange errors even with the basic configuration; my actual file is :

import XMonad
main = xmonad $ defaultConfig
    {borderWidth =1
    , terminal = "urxvt"
    , normalBorderColor = "#cccccc"
    , focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" }

when I check the file I get this:

Please check the file for errors.

can somebody help me? I would like configure xmonad to use xmobar, but If not even the simplest configuration works, iI do not know how to do it, I know that xmonad is using the last working configuration, maybe I can find it and modify, I do not know I am confused, thanks in advance

Answer 1

You have 2 versions of "unix" haskell library: system one and for your local user giuseppe. You can try hiding the last one just for recompiling the xmonad config, unhide it later.

ghc-pkg hide --user unix-2.4.0.0
