Hi, I'm trying to run an example from the eason documentation:

λ> do result <- decode "{\"name\":\"Dave\",\"age\":2}"
       flip parseMaybe result $ \obj -> do
         age <- obj .: "age"
         name <- obj .: "name"
         return (name ++ ": " ++ show (age*2))

I made a function:

jsonTest = do 
	result <- decode "{\"name\":\"Dave\",\"age\":2}"
	flip parseMaybe result $ \obj -> do
		age <- obj .: "age"
		name <- obj .: "name"
		return (name ++ ": " ++ show (age*2))

which can not compile:
hh.hs:35:41:
    No instance for (Show a0) arising from a use of ‘show’
    The type variable ‘a0’ is ambiguous
....
...

Please what am I doing wrong?

Cheers, Miro
