Error occurred during calling the sampler (MacOS Catalina)

[nahorp]

Hello,

I updated to the recent brms version (2.12.0) but unfortunately get this error,

>   fit <- brm(y ~ 1 + T + (1|I),
+                family = Gamma(link = "log"),
+                data = df_data)

I've seen some threads on the Stan discourse but not exactly sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Unfortunately, this happens at a deeper level than brms and so discourse is the right place to look for answers.

Running this brms's example gives the same problem. Using native clang, and examples from stan run fine.

Use cmdstanr works now.
