New issue 477 by daniel.w... at gmail.com: report missing GHC
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=477

Reported on behalf of plat0 from #xmonad:

Severity: wishlist (I suppose)

If ghc is not installed and I press Alt-Q to recompile and restart I get  
the error:

"Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file:  
/home/tom/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

Please check the file for errors."

This is rather unhelpful since it doesn't actually highlight the true  
cause, and had me scratching me head for quite a while.
