I can't reproduce this using g++ 4.9-3, but I don't recall seeing this error when 4.9.2 was more prevalent. Do you have a different version of Boost on your system? We have had Boost version conflicts before but only with a Mac.

Hi Ben,

Today I remove the directory "R-3.3.0/library/BH" and I executed install.packages('rstan') again. It's right! The package has been successfully installed and I'm really happy now!
