thanks Vince! But I'm really confused... IF there are prerequisites then A) they should be bolted into the rpm process. that is what rpms are for and B) they should be part of the WRITTEN instructions at the OFFICIAL weewx http://weewx.com/docs/redhat.htm for rehat/centos distributions.
I take it from your response that this is clearly a well-known (to some) weewx problem so why has not the fixes been written into the weewx http://weewx.com/docs/redhat.htm ?? I'm pleased and excited that you have responded with hope. I'm brand new to weewx but have used Ubuntu and CentOS for a very long time. I'm a 40-year C developer but have never known python. I have not been able to get weewx to run on either U20 or C7 ! thanks! rich On Sun, Nov 22, 2020 at 2:34 PM vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sunday, November 22, 2020 at 1:11:15 PM UTC-8 paint...@gmail.com wrote: > >> CentOS 7.9 64bit clean install >> Directions on http://weewx.com/docs/redhat.htm don't result in a >> workable weewx. >> Note- those instructions do NOT have a step for wee_config --install >> Starting weewx installation over from scratch.... >> Below is a complete transcript.
