perhaps:  > ghc-pkg hide mtl   (I think mtl and transformers fight over the

Then import Control.Monad.Trans.State instead of Control.Monad.State.  All
else should be well, if I am not forgetting something.

That depends on the monad library.  In transformers it would be:

(Monad m, Eq a) => a -> StateT [a] m Bool

State s is just a type synonym for StateT s Identity, so this works for
State as well.
