Another BRMS (Rstan?) Error in sink(type = "output") error

I hate to repost on a question that seems as if it has been answered, but I am running into an error that resists solutions. I cannot run even a simple brms model (see below) and the solution for previous people – install.packages(c("StanHeaders", "rstan"), type = "source") – works for me.


install.packages(c("StanHeaders", "rstan"), type = "source")
install.packages("brms")

library(brms)

n   <- 100
mus <- c(2, 4)

fake_d <- data.frame(
	y = rnorm(n, mus[1], sd = 1),
	x = rnorm(n, mus[2], sd = 1)
)

# plot(fake_d$x, fake_d$y, pch = 16)

m0 <- brm(y ~ x, cores = 2, chains = 2, data = fake_d)

  • Windows: 10
  • brms Version: 2.17.0

Apologies if this is a dumb error! I appreciate any assistance you can provide. For what it’s worth, I’ve been building and running models in cmdrstan successfully so far.

The full error is below:
