Hi all,

After updating my machine to RHEL3 from RH9 my copy of Gnucash bombs out 
like this at startup:

[minfrin at gatekeeper rpms]$ gnucash
Backtrace:
In unknown file:
    ?: 0* [start-program]
In /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/price-quotes.scm:
  224: 1* (set! program (gnc:run-sub-process #f 
gnc:*finance-quote-check* ...))

   60: 6*  [zero? #f]

/usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/process.scm:60:20: In procedure 
zero? in expression (zero? pid):
/usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/process.scm:60:20: Wrong type 
argument in position 1: #f

Does anyone have a plain english translation of the above message? I 
have no idea what it is trying to tell me. The Finance-Quote module is 
installed via CPAN, I checked.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Graham
