Subject: [xmonad] Compile error
Message-ID: <23003584-8cf9-ad43-efab-0dbb91e29075@free.fr>

Hi all,


I am on a Debian sid system.  when I installed it, xmonad packages were 
not installable so I compiled it myself. At a time, it became available, 
I installed the package. A few days ago, I noticed that xmonad would not 
recompile anymore. I removed all the stuff I had compiled by myself, but 
still, it doesn't compile.

-----------

xmonad --recompile
XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because neither 
"/home/alain/.config/xmonad/build" nor 
"/home/alain/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml" exis
ts.
XMonad recompiling (forced).
Errors detected while compiling xmonad config: 
/home/alain/.config/xmonad/xmonad.hs
$ ghc --make xmonad.hs -i -ilib -fforce-recomp -main-is main -v0 
-outputdir /home/alain/.cache/xmonad/build-x86_64-linux -o /home/ala
in/.cache/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux
ghc: can't find a package database at 
/home/alain/.cabal/store/ghc-9.0.2/package.db

Please check the file for errors.

---------


Thanks for your help.


Alain

this sounds like more of a cabal issue, I think.  Brandon probably knows
best, but I think the usual advice here is to nuke ~/.cabal and
reinstall.

That looks like you have an environment file hanging around somewhere.
It'll be named something like `.ghc.environment.x86-64-linux-9.0.2`.
You'll need to remove it, since it references a cabal store that no
longer exists.

Hi,

Thank you for the answers.

The culprit was in xmonad.

Best regards,

Alain
