[Haskell-beginners] Regex woes...

[Sean Charles]

I did a cabal update then:
cabal install regex-base
cabal install regex-compat
cabal install regex-posix

Everything built and installed, there were no errors as far as I could 
tell. However, on attempting to get into regex on page 199 of my Real 
World Haskell book I get this error when trying to use [String] as the 
return type and I don't know why...

Prelude Text.Regex.Posix> "this is the string" =~ "th" :: [String]

<interactive>:1:0:
     No instance for (RegexContext Regex [Char] [String])
       arising from a use of `=~' at <interactive>:1:0-27
     Possible fix:
       add an instance declaration for
       (RegexContext Regex [Char] [String])
     In the expression: "this is the string" =~ "th" :: [String]
     In the definition of `it':
         it = "this is the string" =~ "th" :: [String]

I am trying to write a page scraper, I've already sucked pages with 
Network.HTTP and I thought it'd be easy to get the anchor tags!
