RStan fails to build example model

Hi,
I succesfully used rstan with previous versions of R, Rtools and rstan (maybe R 4.1.2 and Rtools4, I don’t remember well).
I updated R to R 4.2.0, and rtools to Rtools42;
I removed all previous installations of rstan and configuration files, then I configured C toolchain and installed rstan following instructions (Configuring C Toolchain for Windows · stan-dev/rstan Wiki · GitHub and RStan Getting Started · stan-dev/rstan Wiki · GitHub).

I can compile packages from sources and install rstan, but when I run the example model I get a compilation error:

TRANSLATING MODEL '73fc79f8b1915e8208c736914c86d1a1' FROM Stan CODE TO C++ CODE NOW.
successful in parsing the Stan model '73fc79f8b1915e8208c736914c86d1a1'.

Can anyone help me to make rstan working again?

Thank you

This is fixed in the development version of RStan >= 2.26.11. You can install it as follows:

remove.packages(c("StanHeaders", "rstan"))
install.packages("StanHeaders", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
install.packages("rstan", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))

See R4.2 , Rstan & Windows · Issue #1006 · stan-dev/rstan · GitHub.

Running R version 4.2.3 and this solution has worked for me!
