This error was reported here:

http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2014-May/010061.html

but it was an off topic.

I'm using gretl2018c and on Win7.

Regarding "D:" and "C:", I have two disk partitions (C: and D:), where gretl is installed in C: and the directory where I work is in D:.

Note: something went wrong with my previous post, the correct error message I'm getting is:

"Couldn't create directory 'D:\<...>\'
C:\Users\<...>\AppData\Roaming\gretl\gretl.pid: No such file or directory
C:\Users\<...>\AppData\Roaming\gretl\gretl.pid: No such file or directory"

Thank you for you fast answer,

Marcelo

Can you point to this earlier report, or tell us in which month it happened?

So you're on Windows. BTW, is the "D:" vs. "C:" thing correctly
reproduced here?

What gretl version are you running?

thanks,
