Installation issue: stan/lang/ast_def.cpp: No such file or directory

General

I’m trying to re-install Rstan after updating to 3.5.0. Even after installing all dependencies, I still get the following error message:

lang__ast_def.cpp:18:33: fatal error: stan/lang/ast_def.cpp: No such file or directory

Full output is displayed below:

It looks as if you need to first do install.packages("StanHeaders") for some reason

What is packageVersion("StanHeaders")? Regardless, you may need to uninstall and reinstall it.

Reinstalling StanHeaders worked - thank you!
