Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) : Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!

Petros · January 13, 2020, 10:58am

Hi,
I am new to rstan. The installation was successfully done within Windows10, in C:
However, when I try to run the first model after the installation instructions, I get the following error message:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.2/etc/x64/Makeconf:215: file27b46fc111f7.o] Error 1
In addition: Warning message:

Error in sink(type = “output”) : invalid connection

I had a look at the other similar posts, (re-installation, installing in C:) but they have not worked for me. Any advise would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

It probably installed StanHeaders to some directory that it cannot find. What is

system.file("include", "src", "stan", "model", "model_header.hpp",
            package = "StanHeaders")

?

Petros · January 13, 2020, 1:47pm

Thank you for your response.

system.file(“include”, “src”, “stan”, “model”, “model_header.hpp”, package = “StanHeaders”)
[1] “\\Jericho/home/petros.boutselis/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/StanHeaders/include/src/stan/model/model_header.hpp”

bgoodri · January 13, 2020, 2:00pm

Yeah, having it in a networked drive is tricky. When you do

example(stan_model, package = "rstan", run.dontrun = TRUE)

what is the compilation argument, i.e. the line in the middle of the output that starts with g++?

Petros · January 13, 2020, 2:05pm

The output is:

Hi,
Sorry for coming back, but I wanted to make sure that I have provide you with the right output?
Thank you again for your time.

bgoodri · January 15, 2020, 3:52pm

That is the right output, but I think it does not know what to do with paths that start with \Jericho. Does

example(cxxfunction, package = "inline", run.dontrun = TRUE)
work?

Petros · January 15, 2020, 4:10pm

Unfortunately not:

example(cxxfunction, package = “inline”, run.dontrun = TRUE)

cxxfnc> # default plugin
cxxfnc> fx ← cxxfunction( signature(x = “integer”, y = “numeric” ) , ’
cxxfnc+ return ScalarReal( INTEGER(x)[0] * REAL(y)[0] ) ;
cxxfnc+ ’ )

cxxfnc> fx( 2L, 5 )

cxxfnc+

cxxfnc+ return wrap( as(x) * as(y) ) ;
cxxfnc+ ', plugin = “Rcpp” )
cxxfnc+ fx( 2L, 5 )
cxxfnc+

bgoodri · January 15, 2020, 4:39pm

Both of these error messages are saying it cannot find files that are in packages that are installed in your home directory. I think you need to figure out a way to install packages somewhere in C:/. Or maybe map the network drive your home directory is on to some place in C:/ or at least that has the same conventions for specifying paths.

Petros · January 15, 2020, 8:43pm

Thank you very much for the advice.

MauritsM · January 31, 2020, 4:08pm

Hi! Sorry to hijack this thread, but I’m running into a similar problem. If you prefer I open a new thread, please let me know.

When trying to compile a Stan model I get the following error:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

I’m not quite sure what’s going wrong, although it seems similar to the problem described here. I’m able to run

 example(cxxfunction, package = "inline", run.dontrun = TRUE)

without errors.

Do you have any advice on what I could try to get Stan working?

bgoodri · January 31, 2020, 6:11pm

I think the easiest thing to do would be to install the rstan that goes with that version of StanHeaders. But things with CRAN are a bit in flux at the moment, so you have to do

install.packages("https://win-builder.r-project.org/l26BR4T0nUlo/rstan_2.21.1.zip",
                 repos = NULL)

MauritsM · January 31, 2020, 7:15pm

Thanks! I tried but unfortunately run into a new problem:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rstan’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):

In addition: Warning message:

bgoodri · January 31, 2020, 7:39pm

Hmm. Maybe try installing from GitHub

remotes::install_github("stan-dev/rstan", ref = "develop",
                        subdir = "rstan/rstan")

?

MauritsM · January 31, 2020, 10:20pm

Sadly I’m having some trouble getting that to compile from source. Variations of the errors and warnings I see all the time are:

J:/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/scal/meta/require_generics.hpp:736:53: warning: variadic

And it ends with

Unfortunately I have no idea what these errors mean - any advice is greatly appreciated.

P.S. the installation errors and warnings go on for multiple screens - let me know if you want me to capture them entirely.

MauritsM · January 31, 2020, 10:43pm

Hold on, for whatever reason, using rstan 2.19.2 with StanHeaders 2.21.0-1 is now working (mostly) as expected. I’ll do some more testing, but if you don’t hear from me, please don’t spend any time on this anymore! :-)

bgoodri · January 31, 2020, 11:24pm

I have spent the last 3 months on it, so another little bit won’t hurt much.

MauritsM · January 31, 2020, 11:50pm

Haha, thanks for your help so far!

Unfortunately I seem to have celebrated a bit too early. Some of the simpler Stan models (i.e. 8 schools) compile and sample just fine, but a slightly more complex model gives this error:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

Does this seem related?

To be precise this shows up when trying to compile the model with stan_model().

bgoodri · February 1, 2020, 12:13am

Things like that are usually due to having -mtune=native -march=native and the compiler misdiagnosing the processor. If you have that in CXX11FLAGS or something, try removing it.

jhaeberl · February 1, 2020, 7:09pm

Hi. Not sure whether it is acceptable to use this thread but I am experiencing issues compiling Stan models. I installed RStan without any issues.
Win 10, 64 bit, R 3.6.2, Rtools 3.5.0.4
However, when I try to run the following command:
example(stan_model, run.dontrun = TRUE)
I get the following errors:

g++.exe: error: Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/mat/fun/Eigen.hpp: No such file or directory
g++.exe: error: Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include: No such file or directory
g++.exe: error: Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/RcppEigen/include: No such file or directory

The “compilation argument” is as follows:

C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.2/bin/x64/R CMD SHLIB file355079371150.cpp 2> file355079371150.cpp.err.txt
C:/Rtools/mingw_64/bin/g++ -std=gnu++11 -I"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.2/include" -DNDEBUG -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/Rcpp/include/" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/RcppEigen/include/" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/RcppEigen/include/unsupported" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/BH/include" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/src/" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/" -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/rstan/include" -DEIGEN_NO_DEBUG -DBOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS -std=c++1y -march=core2 -include C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/mat/fun/Eigen.hpp -I C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include -I C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/RcppEigen/include -O3 -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -c file355079371150.cpp -o file355079371150.o

I noticed that the files or directories that cannot be found happen to be those that are not in quotes in the compilation argument, namely

-include C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/mat/fun/Eigen.hpp -I C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include -I C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/RcppEigen/include

and the errors complain that
Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/mat/fun/Eigen.hpp
doesn’t exist, etc. The paths have been mangled.

Needless to say, these files and directories all exist on my machine.

Is there a way to force the paths to be properly quoted? And would that solve the problem?

Thank you for any help you may be to provide.
