Just to cover the obvious: you updated the declaration in a header and
ensured it is the only one?  If so then the compiler should not complain.

Seeing the 'error: 'RU_sqrtPosDefFree' was not declared in this scope'
strongly suggests that didn't happen.

Dirk, who is not familiar with either R package
