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

Thx for your help

Perhaps it’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:

We’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")))

Thanks! Much appreciated… brms is now working!

@andrjohns , so I got it to work, but now it has returned… See below output
