Operating System - Windows 10

packageVersion(“StanHeaders”)
[1] ‘2.21.0.5’
packageVersion(“rstan”)
[1] ‘2.19.3’

I tried everything related to this error but couldn’t find solution, and also checked the file - 3.6.3/library/StanHeaders/include/stan/math/prim/mat/fun/Eigen.hpp

Found this file at same location, please help someone

You temporarily need

install.packages(
"https://win-builder.r-project.org/5yFs1HoUI204/StanHeaders_2.21.0-6.zip",
repos = NULL, type = "win.binary"
)

I’m having the same issue with brms,

I have:

packageVersion("brms")
#> [1] ‘2.13.3’
packageVersion("rstan")
#> [1] ‘2.21.1’
packageVersion("StanHeaders")
#> [1] ‘2.21.0.5’

I was unable to run this:

Failing with:

#> trying URL 'https://win-builder.r-project.org/5yFs1HoUI204/StanHeaders_2.21.0-6.zip'
#> Warning in install.packages :

We can update the StanHeaders but unfortunately the Makevars handling in rstan is messed up right now.

@mattansb Do the updated links in Rstan on Windows work for you?
