Why does running the tutorial example fail with Rstan?

Interfaces

I installed the RStan successfully, the library loads. I try to run a tutorial example (RStan Getting Started · stan-dev/rstan Wiki · GitHub). After applying the stan function

fit1 <- stan(
  file = "schools.stan",  # Stan program
  data = schools_data,    # named list of data
  chains = 4,             # number of Markov chains
  warmup = 1000,          # number of warmup iterations per chain
  iter = 2000,            # total number of iterations per chain
  cores = 1,              # number of cores (could use one per chain)
  refresh = 0             # no progress shown
)

I get the following error:

Error in compileCode(f, code, language = language, verbose = verbose) :

Error in sink(type = “output”) : invalid connection

Simply running example(stan_model, run.dontrun=T) gives the same error.

What does this error mean?

Is rtools wrongly installed? My PATH seems to contain the correct folder C:\\rtools42\\x86_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix\\bin;. Is something wrong with the version of my Rstan package? I am struggling to interpret this error?

What to try to solve it?
