I'm trying to run the Xmonad window manager in X11 on OSX lion, I load Xmonad at x11 startup, and X11 just crashes, sometimes it does not. I'm just wondering how I can view some kind of error log to ascertain why it is crashing.

Solution:

The log file I needed was system.log in /private/var/log/system.log

Thanks for the help

Have you looked in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter? Or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter? – Gio Dec 8 '11 at 14:32
The log file is within /var. Have you followed the steps in haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions specifically section 4.1.3? – Global nomad Dec 8 '11 at 16:57
