Error using rcpp armadillo when making R package

I am trying to get into using C++ code in my R packages. I created a test package using

usethis::create_package("~/Documents/ptest")

and I then set up the C++ necessaries using

usethis::use_rcpp_armadillo("sum_func")

I then created R/test-package.R and pasted in

## usethis namespace: start
#' @useDynLib ptest, .registration = TRUE
## usethis namespace: end
NULL

## usethis namespace: start
#' @importFrom Rcpp sourceCpp
## usethis namespace: end
NULL

In sum_func.cpp I then put

//sum.cpp
#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
double rcpp_sum(NumericVector v){
    double sum = 0;
    for(int i=0; i<v.length(); ++i){
        sum += v[i];
    }
    return(sum);
}

I then created R/sum__func.R and put in

#' My Sum Function
#'
#' @param vec A vector of values
#'
#' @return The sum
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
#' my_sum(1:10)
my_sum <- function(vec) {
  rcpp_sum(vec)
}

But then when I run devtools::load_all(".") I get

I get an error but after googling I can't figure out how to solve it.

Thank you @dirk-eddelbuettel,

This article was the most useful.

I'm not an expert, but for me this worked (or at least got me to my next error).

I ran

brew reinstall gcc

to make sure I had the most up to date gfortran. Then I made a ~/.R/Makevars (as I did not have one already). I then wrote this in there

FC      = usr/local/opt/gcc/bin/gfortran
F77     = /usr/local/opt/gcc/bin/gfortran
FLIBS   = -L/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib

I restarted R and the package then loaded successfully! Many thanks!
