Hi all,
This is my first time using Rstan, I followed the instruction from https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started to install it. When I try to compile the 8schools example in Rstudio, it returns an error which shows below:
Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! In file included from file146ec754c9e8c.cpp:8:

In addition: Warning message:

Error in sink(type = “output”) : invalid connection
Can anyone help me with that?
R version: 3.5.3
Rstuido version: 1.2.1330
Rstan version: 2.18.2
Thanks in advance!
Yize
What is the string surrounding the word error: (with the colon) when doing
stancode <- 'data {real y_mean;} parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(y_mean,1);}'
mod <- stan_model(model_code = stancode, verbose = TRUE)
Hi bgoodri,
Do you mean this part? (shown below)

No, I mean the part that starts with error:. It probably then says something to the effect of “cannot find this file”.
In file included from /usr/local/clang4/bin/…/include/c++/v1/cstdlib:86:
/usr/local/clang4/bin/…/include/c++/v1/stdlib.h:94:15: fatal error: ‘stdlib.h’ file not found

I think this might be what you look for?
It stated that ‘stdlib.h’ file not found.
If that doesn’t work but you have a /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14. pkg , install that so it puts C++ headers back in /usr/include
For this one do you mean I need to type this code into R or Xcode?
It just means you need to click on /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14. pkg from Finder.
Sorry I’m still not clear about this stuff.
1. Make sure you have opened Xcode once via Spotlight to accept its license
I have open Xcode but I don’t need to do something else except open this app, do I?
2. If that doesn’t work but you have a /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14. pkg , install that so it puts C++ headers back in /usr/include
For this one I don’t have a finder called ‘Packages’ in CommandLineTools. So where can I download the relevant package?
3. If that doesn’t work, rename / delete / empty the ~/.R/Makevars file to use Xcode’s clang++ rather than LLVM’s
Similarly, how can I do this step?
4. If that doesn’t work, recreate ~/.R/Makevars with a line that says CXX14FLAGS = -isystem ??? where ??? means the path to the C++ header files such as /usr/include
And what about this?
Sorry for lots of questions regarding these. I’m also a stranger to MacOS system so I’m really confused about these stuff.
For 2, if you do in R
dir(file.path("Library", "Developer", "CommandLineTools", "Packages"))
what does it say?
Sorry for the late reply. It will return: character(0)
OK, try in R doing
file.rename(from = "~/.R/Makevars", to = "~/.R/Makevars_old")
and then try to compile something again.
That is atypical. Try
Sys.setenv(R_MAKEVARS_USER = "/dev/null")
and then compiling something.
Thank you so much for your patience! It works now!
OK, that is only temporary. Outside of R / RStudio, you need to find a way to delete the file at /Users/mayize/.R/Makevars.
But I cannot find this /Users/mayize/.R/Makevars file in my laptop. Actually there is no “.R” folder in /Users/mayize.
You may have to enable seeing “hidden” folders (those that start with a dot).
Wow thanks a lot! I figured it out.
