The file, r.cpp, is part of another shared library, xloops.

By modifying r.cpp, running 'make' and then running 'make install' the changes made to r.cpp were incorporated (the error message thrown was the modified message).  After stumbling upon the solution it appears my original question should have been posted to a beginner's gcc msg board and not GiNaC.  Sorry for the clutter.

Sincerely,
