Decided to take a different tack to get past the compiler (redefinition) issues. Got the code below to compile/run but card won't initialize successfully. I keep getting the "initialization failed!" error message written to the console. Any help regarding where to go from here would be appreciated.

SD card basic file example
This example shows how to create and destroy an SD card file
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4
