Initial Comment:

With the attached test file (t.hs) I get the following
result:
--------------------------

------------------------------

but line 4 is correct (it is in fact an example from
the userguide)

-------------------------------------- example file: t.hs
module Main where

class IOMatrixIf (iomat :: * -> *) b where
  iomatrix_new        :: Int -> Int -> IO (iomat b)
   -- ^ creates a matrix with random values ( just mem.
allocation)
  iomatrix_rows       :: (iomat b) -> Int
  iomatrix_cols       :: (iomat b) -> Int
  iomatrix_read_elem  :: (iomat b) -> Int -> Int -> IO b
  iomatrix_write_elem :: (iomat b) -> Int -> Int -> b
-> IO ()


hello = "foo" -- junk code may be some lines


-- here is the kind error 
type IOMatrix matRep = IOMatrixIf matRep b => (IO matRep)

Quite right, and happily already fixed ready for 6.4.1

Foo.hs:18:50:
    Kind error: `matRep' is not applied to enough type 
arguments
    In the type synonym declaration for `IOMatrix'
