I intuited that that's what the problem was.

ghci does not know what type of enum you want to create from the number 2. Try: toEnum 2
:: DayOfWeek
That said, I would expect "toEnum 2" to give an error like: 'Ambiguous type variable `a'....'. So I am not sure why your error message says: '** Exception: Prelude.Enum.().toEnum: bad argument'
