Ah, I should have looked at the source code sooner: when you
use the deseas() function the input series (which might not be
a named series, but rather something generated on the fly,
like "log(y)") is given a temporary name of "x" for use with
X-12-ARIMA. So if something goes wrong the name of the missing
file will indeed be "x.d11".
But I'm puzzled by the fact that the path that appears in the
error message does not start with the name of a home
directory. What do you see if you issue these gretl commands:
print "dotdir = '@dotdir'"
printf "HOME = '%s'\n", getenv("HOME")
?
