i think that it may need -fvia-C. although i'm not sure, try to
prepend this line to module:

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -cpp -fvia-C -fglasgow-exts #-}

look at http://www.haskell.org/library/ArrayRef.tar.gz

the files you need to steal (and edit) are
LICENSE
ArrayRef.cabal
Setup.hs

although for test try to just "make" it
