There are two common reasons why this happens. The diagnosis would have been easier if you had included the log, but no matter.
First, what kind of install did you do? If setup.py, be sure not to run the pip3 command from the weewx directory. It will see the setup.cfg file and try to install pyephem in /home/weewx. Instead, "cd" to some other directory, then do the install. Second, make sure that the version of python that pip3 used is the same one that weewxd is using. The log will show the latter. For the former, it's best to explicitly invoke python, instead of pip3. For example, *python3 -m pip pyephem* This way, you know for sure which python you are using. -tk On Tue, Aug 10, 2021 at 5:49 PM D R <daleeaucla...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've started a new install with a RaspPi4, 64 Gig memory, latest Debian > install, with updates, then latest WeeWx, selected the emulator to get some > reports, then when working went through the install of pyephem, since when > I expanded the Celestial .inc it told me for more info I needed that.
