Hi, I got the following error code when executing

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

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

It is a long error message and I had trouble identifying where the problem might be. I would appreciate any hints on solving this issue.

Thanks!

Hi,
that’s a bit weird as the message only mentions a warning.

Which rstan version are you using?

Could you try with the newest version (not on CRAN, but available via Repository for distributing (some) stan-dev R packages | r-packages)?

Alternatively, cmdstanr tends to be a bit easier to install than rstan: Getting started with CmdStanR • cmdstanr

Hope we can get this resolved quickly.
