[Haskell-cafe] I am having trouble with the type declaration for creating an identity matrix.

[Daniel Peebles]

Your problem is that you're including the (i, j) in your array element
type, when you really only want it to be in your index type (I assume).
This would not normally be an issue, but an unboxed array doesn't work on
an element type of ((Int, Int), Double).

You might consider instead making a new unboxed array with a default value
of 0.0, and then forM_ an action that writes 1.0 at index (i, i).
