help Installing Finance::Quote

(in reply to Moises Lopez Almeida)

So you are using GnuCash on Linux - openSUSE (11.2 ?  11.1 ?)

DON'T use gnc-fq-update as it will mess-up your installation
and your installed packages database.

First, check that F::Q is not already installed (not sure,
but it might have been installed at the same time as GnuCash).
On console, type:

  which gnc-fq-dump

If you get "/usr/bin/gnc-fq-dump", then you know F::Q is
already installed.  All you have to do is to configure your
quotes in GnuCash for online prices retrieval.

If not, then open Yast -> Install/remove software, search
for perl-finance-quote and install it.


You will also probably need to patch some of the files.
If the installed version of F::Q is 1.16 based, you need to
replace the "Quote.pm" module by a patched one you can find
here:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555687

(This fixes a problem with the retrieval of currency quotes.)

Also, if you plan to use LeRevenu as a source for prices,
you need to replace "LeRevenu.pm" as well (same URL).
