[solved] xmonad error importing modules

Question

Attempting to set up xmonad
This is my xmonad.hs:
import XMonad
import System.IO
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
main = do
xmonad $ defaultConfig
modMask = mod4Mask
, terminal = "urxvt"
when I recompile xmonad I get:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/moonlight/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:3:8:
Could not find module `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Please check the file for errors.
No idea what's wrong, unless I've made a typo, but I don't think I have.
I've tried importing other modules (eg XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks, XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)) and so far the only ones I don't get errors with are XMonad and System.IO
Any ideas?

Answer 1

I am definitely no haskell expert ... maybe try putting DynamicLog before IO?
Here is what my (working) imports look like just for reference:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe)
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys)
import System.IO (Handle, hPutStrLn, hGetContents)
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import Dzen
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog hiding (dzen)
-- layouts
import XMonad.Layout
import XMonad.Layout.ToggleLayouts
import XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile
import Data.Ratio ((%))
import XMonad.Layout.Gaps
