I get an error message when brms is compiling the stan program.

Perhaps itā€™s because you are storing the file on Onedrive? Try save it on your local HD.

Thx for your answer. I have moved it and also changed the path to cmdstan to a folder on the local drive.
The I got the following error:

Weā€™re having some compatibility issues with R4.2 and the CRAN rstan, can I get you to restart your R session and then install the preview of the next rstan version using:

remove.packages(c("rstan","StanHeaders"))
install.packages("StanHeaders", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
install.packages("rstan", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
