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) : 
Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! file339c2b2f763d.cpp:31:40: error:

In addition: Warning message:

file339c2b2f763d.cpp.err.txt' had status 1
Error in sink(type = "output") : invalid connection

```

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?
