Rcpp::compileAttributes() Error

Question

I am trying to compile a small package that I\'ve made. This package uses Rcpp and RcppArmadillo. Everything was working well until I updated my mac to Sierra (version 10.12

Answer 1

I got mine fixed by recreating the project in RStudio from GitHub in a fresh directory.

I had the same problem; happened as I was working on a markdown file irrelevant to the package, but then all of sudden package would not build with the same error:
