Compile Error in PyStan

[Ivan Leung]

Hi,

I was able to compile in RStan, but in PyStan, I get the following:

I tried a few suggestions in stackedoverflow regarding the LinkError msg, but no luck.

Hope to get some guidance.

Thanks!

Found the issue.

Once I added the rc.exe and rc.dll to the compiler folder, it works as designed.
