OK, I see now.

It has only the wrap as as definitions as there are no exported
functions (unless the wrap and as should be Rcpp::exported even though
this should be a header only package?).  I'll start the package from
scratch and build up until it either works or the problem is
recreated, and push that code.

Thanks for taking the time to get me to "see". :)
