At the very least, you need some imports with that:

    import XMonad
    import XMonad.Config.Desktop

    main = xmonad desktopConfig { terminal = "lxterminal" }

I'm not sure what's up with the error you got, though; it appears to be at
the end of the file. Control characters, perhaps? The output of

    env LANG=C od -c ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs

might be illuminating.
