Trouble setting up Finance::Quote

[David T.]

Roy--

I followed your and Maf's suggestions, and created ~/.bashrc with the following
in it:

PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export PATH

Interestingly, if I use Apple's Script Editor to:

do shell script "open-x11 /sw/bin/gnucash"

I get the same crash--even though the path is set correctly.

Similarly, if I set up X11 with a menu option for GnuCash, and select that, I
get the crash.

However, if I open an X11 terminal window, and THEN enter "gnucash", I note a
few things:

1) The command line issues a gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version ""1.13"

2) The command line issues a slew of those GLIB errors, and 

3) Get Quotes works

So, somehow, when the trigger for gnucash is from a command line, gnucash works
differently than when one tries to use gnucash with a script or from an X11
menu option...

I guess I'll have to remember to run gnucash from a typed command!
