Ah, it's not a user library distributed with GHC, it's a library used internally in the implementation of GHC. If you want to use it you have to rip it out of the ghc source tree. :-) That said, it's actually quite a free-standing module. A version cleaned of most ghc dependencies (it still depends on FastMutInt) is available here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/tools/c2hs/base/general/Binary.hs?rev=1.1 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/tools/c2hs/base/general/FastMutInt.hs?rev=1.1 One quick hack I made that you might need to fix is that I did: #define SIZEOF_HSINT 4 whereas of course SIZEOF_HSINT should come from /usr/lib/ghc-$VER/include/MachDeps.h or some config.h file generated by ./configure. Of course that is what the version in ghc's sources does.
