Text.Regex.Posix with [String] Result broken?

[Christian Höner zu Siederdissen]

Hi,

are Regex'es broken or is this local to my installation? I want to blame someone else, see:
http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/efficient-file-processing-regular-expressions-and-file-name-matching.html
where all result types of [a] are broken, too.

Thanks,
Christian



What to test for:

Prelude> :m Text.Regex.Posix
Prelude Text.Regex.Posix> "aab" =~ "a" :: String
"a"
Prelude Text.Regex.Posix> "aab" =~ "a" :: [String]

<interactive>:1:0:
    No instance for (RegexContext Regex [Char] [String])
      arising from a use of `=~' at <interactive>:1:0-11
    Possible fix:
      add an instance declaration for
      (RegexContext Regex [Char] [String])
    In the expression: "aab" =~ "a" :: [String]
    In the definition of `it': it = "aab" =~ "a" :: [String]
