Derek,

Yes i am running Gnucash from the X11 terminal. I don't see any 
specific errors or problems on it.
How to check the priceDB ?
How to check a value inside the PriceDB ?

I assume now that transactions seem to be correctly handled and only 
stocks report seems to be wrong.

On the stock report, price value is correct for a Euro stock printed in 
Euro and same for a USD stock printed in USD. The only problem seems to 
be the value of the stock where i have:
- Euro stocks are correct
- USD stock, the value is in Euro but totally wrong

If it take an example:
- stock A price is $1.3
- i got 100 stocks A
- value in USD is $130
- value in Euro (if i take 1.3 exchange rate) will be €100
- Gnucash report shows a €130 value this is the problem

Cheers


Nicolas

I don't see any mistakes on your part.  Your transactions look just
fine.  My guess is that either:

a) there's a bug in the report, or
b) there's bogus data in the PriceDB.

Does gnucash print anything out on the terminal?  That might be
useful to know.  (you ARE running gnucash from a terminal, RIGHT? ;)

Another thing that might be useful to know is what's in the PriceDB,
in particular if you have prices for the stock denoted in EUR or not.
Also, in your report options, what do you have set for the stock price
computation method?
