Dear all,

I am using function "seas" from package "seasonal" for seasonal adjustment of time series. I am using the latest version of R (4.0.2, 64-bit).
The following lines provide a small working example:
## EXAMPLE ##
library(seasonal)
m <- seas(AirPassengers)
m

On my private laptop, everything is going smoothly, and I obtain the following output:
## OUTPUT ##
Call:
seas(x = AirPassengers)

Coefficients:
          Weekday          Easter[1]         AO1951.May  MA-Nonseasonal-01  
         -0.00295            0.01777            0.10016            0.11562  
   MA-Seasonal-12  
          0.49736  

But on my office computer, I receive the following error message after issuing " m <- seas(AirPassengers)":
## ERROR ##
Error: X-13 has returned a non-zero exist status, which means that the current spec file cannot be processed for an unknown reason.
In addition: Warning message:
In system(cmd, intern = intern, wait = wait | intern, show.output.on.console = wait,  :
  running command 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "\\hes-nas-prairie.hes.adhes.hesge.ch/Home_S/sylvain.weber/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/x13binary/bin/x13ashtml.exe" C:\Users\SYLVAI~1.WEB\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpe0MDE7\x132d0cb8579b9/iofile -n -s' had status 1

A similar issue has been already mentioned in various blogs, for instance:
https://rdrr.io/github/christophsax/seasonal/src/travis/test-x13messages.R
http://freerangestats.info/blog/2015/12/21/m3-and-x13
https://github.com/christophsax/seasonal/issues/154
but I couldn't find any solution yet.

Does anyone have any idea why this issue is occurring?

Thanks very much.

Sylvain
