[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#744338: Bug#744338: xmonad fails to compile configuration with linker errors

[Brian Paterni]

I attempted to recompile xmonad's configuration on a laptop I dug up
(also running xmonad on debian unstable). No linker errors ever occurred
and I was able to successfully recompile... So this must be an isolated
incident occurring only on my desktop...

Is there some way to zero in on the problem? Why are these xcb_* symbols
(and friends) not being found when I do in fact have libxcb.so.1 and
libXrender.so.1?
