Hello,
After several months of happily using Gretl to run X-12 Seasonal Adjustment
on my Mac, I've run into the following error with every attempt through the
command prompt:
.gretl/x12arima/x.d11: No such file or directory
I use gretlcli in order to do batch processing with a file I created. Any
ideas? I might just try re-installing...
Thanks,
Patrick.

What do you get from
ls -al ~/.gretl/x12arima
?

$HOME/.gretl/x12arima is where such files are stored. Now, you said
the problem was that x.d11 was missing. That is confirmed by the
listing above, but I see that you have x.err, x.log and x.out. So
you might try looking in those files for a clue as to what has gone
wrong with X-12-ARIMA analysis of the series named 'x'. (All of
these files will be plain text.)

Would this still be the case if the series I was adjusting wasn't `x'?
It was actually `value'.

Hmm. You were trying to adjust a series named 'value' and got an
error message about 'x.d11' not existing? That sounds like black
magic to me.
What do you get from the following script:
open data9-7.gdt
series value = QNC
series dsv = deseas(value)
?

The script you provided worked perfectly. I suppose then it is something
I'm doing improperly? However this has been working for me for a few
months...
I'm using an imported file from STATA "y.dta", I run the following:
open y.dta
setobs 12 1990:01 --time-series
genr valueadj = deseas(value, X)
Every time I get ".gretl/x12arima/x.d11: No such file or directory". This
occurs even when I leave the "X" off and try:
open y.dta
setobs 12 1990:01 --time-series
genr valueadj = deseas(value)

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")
?

My apologies!
I've just been cutting my home directory off for convenience, I should have
been writing "~.gretl/x12arima/x.d11: No such file or directory".
What I actually see is:
"/Users/pkallerman/.gretl/x12arima/x.d11: No such file or directory"

Ok, thanks. So we're back to this point: if x.d11 (which
should hold the deseasonalized series) is not present but some
other x.* files are present, the best shot at resolving the
problem is to look for more info in those files, I guess
x.err, x.log and x.out in particular.
