Hi Bruce.
Here is where I am at. I installed mysql and the deomon runs.
I installed all of the libraries listed on the meteo web site. Still, I
am not finding a meteo deomon or other file to run meteo, and bash says
there isn't one to run.
I went ahead and installed db2APRS and it seems to be running.
Now I see that I am supposed to modify a file meteo.xml. I opened this
file, but need to know how to modify this file. Do you know where I can
see something that makes sense so I can do the mods?
Really do appreciate any help you can give.
I did go to the meteo site, but they really seem to be in hiding.

As Curt says in the last xastir digest, db2APRS just pulls the latest weather
info from the database, and that weather data gets put there by meteo.
If meteo is dying, that is the key issue...
The folks at http://meteo.othello.ch/ are very good about answering questions
concerning meteo issues. In a nutshell, meteo needs a name to call your home
weather station, and it needs to know what instruments are attached (temp,
rain, wind, etc.) inorder to store the data away in a format db2APRS can
retrieve.
That's all in those XML files you must edit from the meteo end of things.
Hope this helps!

Well....
I am not sure where you are at in the process, so I have to ask you the "is it
plugged in?" type questions -
* Did you read the INSTALLATION section of the README file?? Does that
give you what you are looking for?
Yes, and me being a Linux beginner of sorts is having a lot of trouble
understanding what the author is trying to say.
What I have done so far is installed mysql, then in system, turned on
the daemon. I then ran the script for meteo. I did run the program that
checks for the visibility of the Davis unit, and it seems to be telling
me it is there. However meteo doesn't run so I can't get it to load, if
that is what I am supposed to do. Running it as a perl script told me
there were to many errors, and then it chocks.
BTW, I did run db2APRS and it ran, I think.
I also do have Xastir up and running. Been using this for quite a while.
I have WM5Z-1 set up as an IGate for Las Cruces. Now I am trying to get
set up where I have the WX data to both transmit on the APRS network,
and share the DATA on my local network. This way, during a mission I can
have the weather DATA on which ever PC station I am at.
So, any help you are willing to give will be very much appreciated!
Especially hand holding step-by-step instructions!
