[Xmonad] trouble with xmonad on OS X

[Ben Weaver]

Hello,

I've just installed xmonad on OS X, but I'm having trouble running it.
 When I start X11 and type "xmonad" into the terminal this error is
returned:

   xmonad: fatal error: request code=2, error code=10
   Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)

I'm running these software versions:

   * OS X 10.4.10/ppc on a Powerbook G4
   * Apple's X11.app (1.1.3 -- XFree86 4.4.0)
   * ghc 6.6.1, installed from macports
   * X11-extras 0.2, installed manually
   * xmonad 0.2, installed manually

Could this be Xinerama-related?  I have a second display attached to
my laptop, but I've tried running xmonad without the second display
attached and it fails with the same error message.

When I configured the X11-extras package, these warnings were
generated (although it build successfully):

checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h usability... no
checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h:     check for missing
prerequisite headers?

preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: in the future, the
compiler will take precedence
checking for X11/extensions/Xinerama.h... yes

If it helps, here is the console.log snippet generated when starting X11

console.log
=========
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System

Any help is appreciated.
