compiler error with a map<string, enumtype>

sandwich_eater

The following gives compiler error invlaid conversion from int to char*
enum tthings {thone, thtwo};
std::map<std::string, tthings> thingmap;
void initmap()
{
thingmap['one'] = thone; // on this lin
thingmap['two'] = thtwo;
};
Thanks,

'one' is not a string literal. "one" is.
