WD and Catalina

[CFC]

I am a recent convert to Mac from Windows and was running Weather Link on Mojave with my Davis Vantage Pro and data logger. Weather Link will no longer work now that I have upgraded to Catalina. Presume it is because Catalina is only 64 bit and Weather Link is 32 bit.
I downloaded and installed Weather Display 64 bit having bypassed Mac over zealous blocking of things not Apple. However it will not open, when I click on the icon it just says “cannot be opened because of a problem” no other indication.

Any one else got this problem?

Thanks, Colin

Make sure to install the library files
Via the terminal window on the installer

Thanks Brian,
Made sure of that, still have the same problem.

Try starting it from a terminal window
There are other threads about how to do that

[CFC]

Partial success.
Pasted into the terminal
cd /Applications/weatherdisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/

./weatherdisplay

which I found in a post on here and it ran but when I carefully typed that command it did not work. If it works that way what is stopping it running from the icon?

Afraid my 75 year brain does not as well as it once did!

Try entering this instead: sudo ./weatherdisplay

[CFC]

Thanks for that, but it returns with command not found.

[mswatanabe]

Did you enter both command lines? That is, the cd line and the sudo line?

[CFC]

cd /Applications/weatherdisplay.app/Contents/MacOS/

Sorry, yes. that first then the sudo line.

it does open but when I click say, action it shuts down.

Are you sure you are using the latest update of the 64 bit version?

[CFC]

I think I am, downloaded from here two days ago.

I have got it running consistently now but only with using terminal, no luck running directly from the icon. Not sure why it was dropping out yesterday but it runs o.k. with the lines mentioned in previous post but not using “sudo”.

There is another thread about all this
I can set to code sign and so developer recognized
But I need to remove need to use dylib files
And instead have a separate cron program doing
The work
I will work on this over the coming week

I got WD to run on Catalina but it not updating my web site .
In Catalina you can run a report to show you what legacy software that is still on you Mac (see screen shoot)
WD cronftp is reporting it is 32bit and others

I also attach Screen shot debug info and ftp log

the ftp log looks OK for the general ftp upload?
