So I am currently running this code in R.

use\_data ← au.data[au.data$date \>=“1983-03-31”,]

> au.inflation ← use\_data$inflation  
> au.inflation.expectations ← use\_data$inflation.expectations  
> au.labour.costs.growth ← use\_data$labour.costs.growth  
> au.unemployment ← use\_data$unemployment  
> au.imports.price.growth ← use\_data$imports.price.growth  
> au.oil.price.change ← use\_data$oil.price.change  
> au.dummy ← use\_data$dummy  
> N ← length(au.unemployment)  
> stancode ← rstan::stan\_model(“nairu\_model.stan”, verbose = FALSE)

However, when I run the last line I get a bunch of errors as follows:  
make cmd is

Note I have the latest Rstan and StanHeaders package. Do you guys have any idea why this could be happening?

Can you post the full output from running:

```r
example(stan_model, package="rstan", run.dontrun=T)

```

Sure, see below the output from running the following code:

Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!

Bit confused what is going on here.

Try reinstalling from source:

```r
install.packages(c("rstan","StanHeaders"),type = "source")

```

Tried this and reran the following:

NOTE, after installing from the source (older version) and then reupdating to the newer version the stan\_model code works now!

THANKS! :)
