I’m trying to follow the guide here to install and configure RStan on macOS Monterey (12.1). I cannot proceed because of an error I get when trying to install the macOS R Toolchain. I get a failed installation error and the installer cannot proceed.
I tried to follow the instructions linked by a previous post in the Stan forum, but unfortunately I cannot get to compile the .cpp file (Instructions found here). Is there another way?
Thank you
Something like Mac Monterey on Intel Macs? I also have an apple silicon mac which this worked for.
Yeah, I have an Intel Mac and I tried following the instructions on the link you provided, but I do still get errors when I try to compile the helloworld.cpp file. This is what I get:

make: *** [helloworld.o] Error 1
I don’t think it’s not finding the C compiler, but maybe I’m wrong
That error occurs when macOS has multiple toolchains installed, and it causes errors when looking for headers.
Can you try the steps in this post: macos - Catalina C++: Using <cmath> headers yield error: no member named 'signbit' in the global namespace - Stack Overflow
Your answer sent me down the rabbit hole that finally helped me solve the problem!! The solution is to remove both Xcode and command line tools and then to install only Xcode. Then execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
It seems command line tools was the culprit here, even if I still haven’t understood why it should cause a conflict.
edit: reinstalling command line tools breaks compilation again, so it is 100% the problem. By uninstalling it everything seems to work again.
