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

In my case this happens when there is a problem with the NAMESPACE file, or when NAMESPACE is missing. There is a catch-22. Roxygen2 wont overwrite your NAMESPACE file, but if you delete it and run roxygen to generate the NAMESPACE file, compileAttributes is called, but hangs because the NAMESPACE file is missing.
