Move to new Mac having trouble

Folks,

I found the user manual page for moving the calibre library to another computer, also a Mac. I followed the instructions, had a couple false starts and redid steps. At conclusion, it appears to have imported the two libraries into the destination folder but when I open the app it verifies, icon bounces a couple times, and then quietly exits. I am stumped.

I spent several days on one Mac repairing entries and once completed decided to move it all to the Mac that shares with the household. I used the export routine to a clean folder, copied that to the new Mac. Reinstalled calibre and went thru the Welcome routine. The destination folder was not empty so I deleted the items there and also went into Terminal to delete the '.DS_Store' file there to make it truly empty. I then used the import routine and it appeared all went well.

As I mentioned, calibre appears to attempt a launch but then quietly quits. Any ideas? Is there something that I am missing?
