I'm completely new to xmonad but I'd like to start using it to boost my productivity.
This is the guide I've been using (I'm using Apple OS X Snow Leopard) http://xmonad.org/tour.html#start
So far I've managed to install Haskell-Platform, Cabal, dMenu, and xmonad (using cabal install).
When I attempt to run xmonad from the terminal I run into this error:
SDGL0990Z464C:~ cflynn$ echo $PATH
/Users/cflynn/.cabal/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/X11/bin
SDGL0990Z464C:~ cflynn$ xmonad
/Users/cflynn/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-darwin: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
Can anyone explain what this means? Thanks!
Does the file /Users/cflynn/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-darwin exist? It sounds like it does not. You will need to compile your xmonad config and put the resulting executable at that location.
