Yes, whenever I run it, it's from a terminal shell. (That's after
seeing several answers on this list stating "you do run gnucash from a
terminal, right?". Sound familiar?) My startup script is 'xterm -sb -e
gnucash' and since I always use the same datafile, it always opens with
the datafile I last used- "Personal.dat" (see the example in the earlier
note)
Anyway, it starts fine with just 'gnucash' in a shell, but the
--add-price-quotes option, it kicks this error, and doesn't write
anything to the file.
Another thought. This is from the man page:
===============================
NAME
gnucash - personal finance manager
SYNOPSIS
gnucash [options] [ accounts.gnc ]
===============================
Is the referral to "accounts.gnc" just the data file that I use, as in
my only gnucash file? That's what I'm using here, but it's not a '.gnc'
extension. I beleive that the extension is meaningless, but I ask, just
in case. I'm not familiar with this naming scheme ("accounts.gnc")
maybe I'm using the wrong filename after all?
