Huh. So F::Q would seem to be installed properly, but for some reason your default endpoint of yahoo.com seems to be returning the data for HDIL.NS in a format that it can't parse correctly. I get a good result:

Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: HDIL.NS <=== required
date: 05/16/2014 <=== required
currency: INR <=== required
last: 83.90 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 83.90 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
You can get a list of sources to try with gnc-fq-check; perhaps a different one will work. Since it appears to be a formatting issue, perhaps yahoo_json will fix it.
