Thank you. That was the problem. I needed to install GNAT and a couple
of other items and now it works. I am grateful for your guidance. <br>

<pre wrap="">When installing Finance::Quote, try checking what its prerequisite CPAN
packages are, then installing them. You may eventually discover the
underlying problem in the error messages for these. Remember to run the tests
for the installs (instructions are in the CPAN help menu) which will give you
the prerequisite and other information.
To hazard a guess: with some of the basic workstation Linux installations,
some of the GNU things that the basic PERL package needs, such as the GNU
make program and a proper compiler, are missing. Installing these and then
trying again may solve your problem. I imagine Mandriva includes them, but
here they are:

More info about my problem. When I try to edit an account, I see that
there is a message that finance:quote was improperly installed. I tried
to remove Gnucash and reinstall it without success. I then ran o conf
init from cpan, but that did not fix the issue. I am unable to get
quotes and was able to do it with my previous version of gnucash under
Mandriva2005LE. I cannot find any more error messages. FWIW, running
update-finance-quote a second time just tells me that it is already
installed. Thanks

<pre wrap="">I just upgraded to Mandriva 2006. All went well. It has gnucash 1.8. All
my old information was retrieved. I ran update-finance-quote and let it
run automatically; it ran and exited with 'ok'. After that when I tried
to run "get quotes" I get a message that it fails because of a "System
error" but no further information as to what it is and what to do. I
tried running gnucash from a console to see if a message would be
written, but nothing was generated. Running dmesg did not give any
useful information. I would appreciate any suggestions or help you all
may have. Thanks
system is Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 1 GB RAM, ethernet connection to Internet
and it is working, Linux with 2.6.12 kernel from Mandriva and using kde
as my window manager
Thank you.
