Warning message:
package ‘RcppEigen’ was built under R version 3.6.3

I run the QR decomposition example from the Stan site on my Mac laptop and it runs without a problem. I do get the warning message about the Jacobian they say will happen.

I run the same code and data on a Windows desktop and get the error message that Eigen can’t be found:

library(RcppEigen)
qr_fit ← stan(file=‘qr_regr.stan’, data=input_data, seed=483892929)
DIAGNOSTIC(S) FROM PARSER:
Info:
Left-hand side of sampling statement (~) may contain a non-linear transform of a parameter or local variable.
If it does, you need to include a target += statement with the log absolute determinant of the Jacobian of the transform.
Left-hand-side of sampling statement:
beta ~ normal(…)

Error in stan_model(file, model_name = model_name, model_code = model_code, :
Eigen not found; call install.packages(‘RcppEigen’)

thanks for any help
bob

Nevermind - it was our security software protecting me from Stan
sorry for this
