[arm-allstar] wx script setup

This file should not be missing. It is created when wx_config.sh is
executed. Basically, once you configure wx_scripts, it will create the
final wx_scripts.conf file.
Try doing the following:
cd /usr/local/bin/Weather
./wx_config.sh
If you ran this in a different directory, using the full path, it may not
copy the wx_config.sh script over to the correct directory. I suspect that
this may be the cause.
