If a change you make would break a snippet, you have to add an updated 
version to snippets/new and then run makelsr.py to update it into the 
snippets directory.  As a hack, you can change the file in snippets, but 
this change would not persist.

Again, at this point I don't know why make can't find a file, but I would 
counsel deleting build for an error of this type.
