Problems with get quotes

I am having trouble with the get updates function for price quotes.
I am running Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit, and have updated to gnucash 2.4.7
built from rb5bdf19+.

It used to work and I didn't make any changes that I am aware of, It
last pulled quotes on 10/14/2011.

Per the FAQ, I tried the following:

# gnc-fq-update
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)
Going to read '/home/sunbird/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:27:18 GMT
LWP is up to date (6.03).
Date::Manip is up to date (6.25).
HTML::Parser is up to date (3.69).
HTML::TableExtract is up to date (2.11).
Crypt::SSLeay is up to date (0.58).
Finance::Quote is up to date (1.17).

I've tried updating with the file open from the Price menu and I get
"Unable to receive price quotes." Similarly, if I run it with the
file closed from the command line, I get this:

$ gnucash --debug --add-price-quotes=PATH/TO/FILENAME
gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at
configure time.

Found Finance::Quote version 1.17
$

But loading the file shows that the quotes have not updated. I
looked in /tmp/gnucash.trace but didn't see anything relevant
(although I may not be looking for the right things.)

Thanks very much,

Devin
