Jarrod, could you point us to the code? There is not much to go by based on your email. One thing just in general: it's always safer to not re-map function names, especially since "error" can be defined in many random other headers, so it's better to use Rf_error() instead to avoid confusions with 3rd party headers that may (re-)define the "error" macro (depending on the order you include them in).
