Finance::Quote on OS X

[Thomas John Vitolo]

Friends:

I'm new to gnucash (1.8.9), fairly new to OS X (10.3), and have generally only
been a *nix _user_, and not an admin, for the past 7 years or so.


I've managed to install Finance::Quote correctly, or so it seems since the code
------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Finance::Quote;
my $q = Finance::Quote->new();
my %data = $q->fetch('nyse', 'BAC');
print "The current price of BAC on the NYSE is " . $data{ 'BAC', 'price');
------------------------------
returns correct, valid output.


Yet when I edit a particular stock, the "Price Quote Source" remains greyed out,
with "Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly." appearing under the
Timezone selector.

I can't seem to find a way to configure gnucash's interaction with F::Q, nor
have I been able to find this problem addressed in the archives or in google.  I
have a hunch that this has come up and I'm not looking in the right place.


Please get me pointed in the right direction.  Without F::Q working correctly
for me, gnucash isn't nearly as valuable.


Regards, and thanks.
