     > Do you actually have the X11 development files installed?
     > If so, what did 'runhaskell Setup.hs configure' say?

Sorry for not being clear earlier, but I thought, I was
actually trying to install these X11 development files you mention:

I first did:

~/xmonad-0.2 <45> runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=$HOME
Configuring xmonad-0.2...
configure: /apps/free/ghc/6.6/bin/ghc-pkg
configure: Dependency base>=1.0: using base-2.0
Setup.lhs: cannot satisfy dependency X11>=1.2.1

Then, I downloaded the X11-1.2.2 package and that's when I
get the link error.

Here's the entire transcript: Please let me know if this 
is what you asked.
