Not able to update stock prices online

[Derek Atkins]

you probably don't have the glib development libraries installed (which
implies you probably dont have most of the gnome-1.4 development environment
installed).

I tried compiling the source but it complained that glib wasn't installed when it is so I may just wait until an rpm is available for SUSE 8.2.

While experimenting with the online stock price update, I noticed that when I created an entry in the Price Editor, it always said that the source was user:price-editor instead of Finance::Quote. I know that the perl module is installed correctly because when I run update-finance-quote it returns saying that it is update to date.  Here are the steps as I performed them in GnuCash:<br>> 1. Create a stock account for the item I want to track and check the box for online quotes and selected Motley Fool and Usa/New_York as the source and region.<br>> 2. Created an entry in the Commodity Editor.<br>> 3. Created an entry in the Price Editor but it alwasys says the source is user:price-editor!
