I am still no further to getting gnc-prices working. I tried the perl thing
below but have not quite figured out what it is supposed to do. It would
be nice if the gnucash web page could just list all of the modules needed
and their dependencies or something like that. There are a lot of wannabe
linux users out there (I was one not too long ago) who are holding off because
of problems like this. Granted, with enough reading I'll get it all going
but hey this pentium laptop is supposed to be a productivity tool sometimes
and not always just a learning platform and time drain.<br>
