Compile error with QR reparameterization

Interfaces RStan
1

When I try to compile the QR re-parameterization model on pg 127 of the 2.17.1 manual, I get the error error: call of overloaded ‘sqrt(int)’ is ambiguous. Any idea what’s up?

Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10

Interface Version: 2.17.3

You need sqrt(N - 1.0); with some compilers.

Yup, that does the trick.

We’re going to fix that. It’s about number four or five on my to-do list at the moment, but if someone else wants to jump in and help flesh out the boundary conditions in the math lib, I know what needs to be done to fix this.
