Installing RStan on linux?

[Allen B. Riddell]

Hi,

Trying to install RStan on linux and the `install.R` script isn't
working for me. When I install RStan everything compiles but then I get
this message:

Are there any alternatives I should try? Will this perhaps be fixed by
RStan being on CRAN?

Thanks,

Allen

CRAN won't help because R does installation from source outside of Windows and Mac. Did you build R from source or install it from a binary package in a repository? It works for me under Debian with either way.

Nevermind, it's some esoteric problem with `conda`. Thanks!
