Rstan connection not establishing with rtools

Modeling
1

I created a modelString and running stan_model but getting errors. The stan_model function was working well till yesterday. Due to some error I reinstalled Rtools multiple times. And now the error is persistent.
My modelString:
modelString<-"
data {
int<lower=1> Ntotal;
real y[Ntotal];
int<lower=2> NxLvl;
int<lower=1, upper=NxLvl> x[Ntotal];
real<lower=0> agammaShRa[2];
}
transformed data {
real meanY;
real sdY;
meanY = mean(y);
sdY = sd(y);
}
parameters {
real a0;
real<lower=0> aSigma;
vector[NxLvl] a;
real<lower=0> ySigma;
}
model {
a0 ~ normal(meanY, 5sdY);
aSigma ~ gamma(agammaShRa[1], agammaShRa[2]);
a ~ normal(0, aSigma);
ySigma ~ uniform(sdY/100, sdY10);
for ( i in 1:Ntotal ) {
y[i] ~ normal(a0 + a[x[i]], ySigma);
}
}
generated quantities {
// Convert a0,a[] to sum-to-zero b0,b[] :
real b0;
vector[NxLvl] b;
b0 = a0 + mean(a);
b = a - mean(a);
}"

stanDso <- stan_model(model_code = modelString)

What version of R and RTools are you running?

Can you run the test model:

example(stan_model, run.dontrun = TRUE, verbose=TRUE)

And post the line that starts with error:

Thank you Andrew. I am using R 4.0.1, RStudio 1.3.959 and Rtools40.

I ran the example(stan_model, run.dontrun = TRUE, verbose=TRUE) and got the below error…

Thanks! The key error here is:

C:/Rtools/mingw_64/bin/g++: No such file or directory

This indicates that R is looking for the old version of RTools. There are some configurations that we can check to see what’s causing this.

Can you run the following commands and post the output:

Sys.getenv("BINPREF")
Sys.getenv("PATH")
readLines("~/.R/Makevars.win")
readLines("~/Rprofile.site")
5

Thanks !! Please find the output

The cause of the issue is here:

> Sys.getenv("BINPREF")
[1] "C:/Rtools/mingw_$(WIN)/bin/"

This is telling R to keep looking for the old version of RTools. The first step to fixing this is to delete the file that’s setting this variable:

unlink("~/.Rprofile")

You can also get rid of the majority of the Makevars.win file, since these aren’t needed anymore with RTools4:

cat("CXX14FLAGS=-O3 -march=native -mtune=native",
    file = "~/.R/Makevars.win", 
    sep = "\n", append = FALSE)

Try running those commands, then restarting R and running the example model again:

example(stan_model, run.dontrun = TRUE, verbose=TRUE)

If that works fine, then you should be able to run your Stan models as normal again

7

I ran the above suggestions and then restarted R and tries my STan models. But it is not working. Then I re installed rstan and ran the below:

unlink(“~/.Rprofile”)
Sys.getenv(“BINPREF”)
[1] “”
Sys.getenv(“PATH”)
[1] “C:\Program Files\rtools40\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-4.0.1\bin\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath_target_300653500;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Users\ranja\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\ranja\AppData\Local\atom\bin;C:\Users\ranja\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\bin”
readLines(“~/.R/Makevars.win”)
[1] “CXX14FLAGS=-O3 -march=native -mtune=native”
readLines(“~/Rprofile.site”)
Error in file(con, “r”) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, “r”) :
cannot open file ‘C:/Users/ranja/OneDrive/Documents/Rprofile.site’: No such file or directory

8

So if you run the example model:

example(stan_model, run.dontrun = TRUE, verbose=TRUE)

What is the line that starts with error:?

9

Error in file(con, “r”) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In find.package(package, lib.loc, verbose = verbose) :
package ‘base’ found more than once, using the first from

2: In file(con, “r”) :
cannot open file ‘file14c1030bd5233.cpp.err.txt’: No such file or directory

10

If you restart R and run:

library(rstan)

stancode = "data {real y_mean;} parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(y_mean,1);}"
fit = stan(model_code=stancode,data=list(y_mean=0))

What happens?

11

stancode = “data {real y_mean;} parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(y_mean,1);}”
fit = stan(model_code=stancode,data=list(y_mean=0))
I am getting 2 errors.

I had a similar problem once, and for me moving the R-folder from “C:/Program Files/R” to “C:/R” solved the problem. Back then I thought that maybe the space in the path is the problem, because I remember somewhere in the error message i saw that the file path was not parsed correctly (was interrupted after the space)… Not sure whether this is also the case here…

13

I see you’re working out of a OneDrive folder, is the result any different if you pause the synchronisation and try again?

14

Thank you. But there was issue in the Onedrive and it got fixed.

Thank you so much Andrew. Totally appreciate your time and effort for helping me. Onedrive was the issue and I fixed that. Now the stan models are working

Stay safe and healthy.
