I tried to reinstall and had updated PATH and received below error:

Same as

Thanks!! I have gone through
Home · stan-dev/rstan Wiki · GitHub and have the g++ version as 4.9

g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.9.2 20150212

After this I ran the following in R console and received the same error:

>dotR ← file.path(Sys.getenv(“HOME”), “.R”)
if (!file.exists(dotR)) dir.create(dotR)
M ← file.path(dotR, ifelse(.Platform$OS.type == “windows”, “Makevars.win”, “Makevars”))
if (!file.exists(M)) file.create(M)

Error:

OK. Try adding this line CXX14 = g++ to the ~/.R/Makevars file with a text editor.

I have created Makevars file under home/.R/ with the content specified above.:

>more Makevars
CXX14 = g++

The I ran below command in R console and received error:

> dotR ← file.path(Sys.getenv(“HOME”), “.R”)
if (!file.exists(dotR)) dir.create(dotR)
M ← file.path(dotR, ifelse(.Platform$OS.type == “windows”, “Makevars.win”, “Makevars”))
if (!file.exists(M)) file.create(M)

“CXX14FLAGS += -fPIC”,
file = M, sep = “\n”, append = TRUE)> > + + + +

I received below error now:

Perhaps change the line in ~/.R/Makevars to

CXX = g++ -std=c++1y

Thanks, I tried the mention steps and it failed with error:

more Makevars
CXX = g++ -std=c++1y

Sorry. I meant to say

CXX14 = g++ -std=c++1y

In Ubuntu 16.04. gcc 5.4 I faced some problems with the -std==c++1y flag, used instead:
CXX14 = g++ -std=gnu++14
