Known bug in GCC.  Upgrade your compiler.  BTW, did that compiler ship
with SuSE?  I don't believe they are so dumb after the fiasco happened
to RedHat: <http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html>.  Alternatively you may
try to remove the default argument in the declaration of 
GiNaC::determinant() that causes the trouble.  But I don't know what is
going to hit you next...
