This means that for whatever reason gnucash can't see the F::Q install.
The problem sounds familiar.  I think its something to do with the Fink
version of gnucash looking for F::Q in one place (/sw ??) while the
update-finance-quote program installs it in another (/usr).  Check the
mailing list archives.

This is a red herring.  Fix the earlier problem and this should work.
