My experience indicates that gnucash will find the fink installed  
finance-quote before it finds the cpan installed version. The latest  
finance-quote version available in fink is really old (1.8). I have a  
newer info file in the fink  tracker, but it hasn't made any progress  
lately. Apparently there is some question about retaining the old  
version along with the new one so that not all finance-quote stuff  
has to go in crypto. I don't know what I need to do to satisfy all  
the policy and practical issues.

Use fink to remove its version of finance-quote, and gnucash should  
stop complaining -- and it will work with the cpan version just fine.
