[Xmonad] Compile error: How to find problem in environment?

[Kai Grossjohann]

On my MacOSX box, compiling xmonad fails with the following error
message.  On my Debian etch box, it works fine.

Comparing ghc-pkg output, I note that the OSX box has more packages, and
some in more recent versions, than etch.  But I have no idea where to
start looking for the problems.

Below, please find (1) ghc-pkg list output for etch, (2) ghc-pkg list
output for OSX, (3) build output for OSX.

Just prior to sending the mail, I verified using "darcs pull" that my
sources (and XMonadContrib) are up to date.

tia,
Kai
