finance-quote not working

GnuCash List,

I am running GnuCash 1.8.11, installed on Mandriva 2006.

I just moved to a new machine and was trying to get GnuCash to work, but
I'm having a problem with the finance-quote module.

I tried running update-finance-quote as root, but it seems to give me
some problems.  Running dump-finance-quote shows that something is
wrong.  I have copied the output below.
When I try to Get Quotes within the price editor, I receive the message:
There was a system error while trying to retrieve the price quotes.

Can anyone help diagnose the problem?

Thanks,
Matt.
