apparently the environment in which you run weewx is not the same as the environment in which you run tide directly, so when the forecast extension invokes /usr/local/bin/tide, tide cannot find the harmonics. the tide.sh script ensures that you use the right harmonics by explicitly telling tide which harmonics file to use. you do not need tide.sh if you fix your environment issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
