Hi Asumu, Thanks for your reply, sorry for the delayed response: was caught by some deadlines.
My main problem is how organise the Racket wrapper. I've checked Chicken's source for Sundials: while it provides nice and simple interface, it hides a bit too many things (for example, I don't think it's possible to provide your own Jacobian to CVODE-solver from Scheme, while it is possible to do it from C). So, I would want to create a layered library with low-level full-control layer and high-level simple interface. Also, what is the best practice in terms of memory management since Sundials requires objects allocated in C-heap? PS. One particular part I'm interested in is ODE-solver (CVODE). If I can manage to create the wrapper for this, the rest can follow and probably will be easier as I would be more familiar with technique. PPS. Thanks for links I am checking MPFR-wrapper now.

The math library, for example, binds to MPFR: https://github.com/racket/math/blob/master/math-lib/math/private/bigfloat/mpfr.rkt If you look on the pkg site, there are a bunch: http://pkgs.racket-lang.org (try the "ffi" tag) I don't personally have time to write such a wrapper for Sundials, but I did glance through the docs. It looks like there are a bunch of separate components with their own manuals. Was there any particular part of it that you would want to use from Racket?
