Hi,
I'm trying to build/install xmonad-contrib 0.11.2 with cabal.
I already installed xmonad 0.11. successfully, but trying to install  
xmonad-contrib keeps on failing with
a ranlib error.
I'm on a mac (10.8.2). I even tried switching ranlib and ar to the binutils  
versions, but that attempt, failed too,
though later than with clang.

Here the end of the output

Any suggestions?
