Rethinking glitch with Ulam

Interfaces
1

Working through Mcelreath’s Rethinking book–using R. When I come to run ulam(), which passes from R to Stan, I get the following error:

Error in file(con, “r”) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In system(paste(CXX, ARGS), ignore.stdout = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE) :
‘-E’ not found
2: In system(cmd, intern = !verbose) :
running command ‘C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-40~1.2/bin/x64/R CMD SHLIB file21fc65d27950.cpp 2> file21fc65d27950.cpp.err.txt’ had status 1
3: In file(con, “r”) :
cannot open file ‘file21fc65d27950.cpp.err.txt’: No such file or directory
Error in sink(type = “output”) : invalid connection

library(rethinking)

data(rugged)  
d <- rugged  
d$log_gdp <- log(d$rgdppc_2000)  
dd <- d[ complete.cases(d$rgdppc_2000),]  
dd$log_gdp_std <- dd$log_gdp/ mean(dd$log_gdp)  
dd$rugged_std <- dd$rugged/ max(dd$rugged)  
dd$cid <- ifelse( dd$cont_africa==1, 1, 2) 

dat_slim <- list(  
  log_gdp_std = dd$log_gdp_std,  
  rugged_std = dd$rugged_std,  
  cid = as.integer( dd$cid)  
  ) 

m9.1 <- ulam(  
  alist(  
    log_gdp_std ~ dnorm( mu, sigma),  
    mu <- a[cid] + b[cid]*( rugged_std - 0.215),  
    a[cid] ~ dnorm( 1, 0.1),  
    b[cid] ~ dnorm( 0, 0.3),  
    sigma ~ dexp( 1)  
    ), data=dat_slim, chains=4, cores = 4)

Hi ,

@Nicklaus_Millican sorry to hear for the problem.

Can you try

remotes::install_github(“bgoodri/inline”)

and try again?
