Tech question

[David Halverson]

Alan, What version of Perl did you install ?  Check the docs but the version
I'm running is 5.10.1 - there were gnucash issues when I just downloaded and
installed the latest version.

See the posting from David T (extract below)  which summarises the issue at
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2011-February/038586.html

Cheers Dave H.


Since you're on Windows, try looking at:

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Finance::Quote

It explains what needs to be done to install Finance::Quote on your machine.
Basically: 

1) Install ActivePerl 5.8 or 5.10 (Do NOT install Active Perl 5.12)
2) Use the start menu item "Install Online Price Retrieval" from the GnuCash
group to install the necessary Perl modules and verify the setup.

I wonder if someone could take a moment to help me with a problem I'm having
downloading equity prices.

When I go to Price Editor and click Get Quotes the Command Box briefly
appears with a prompt, but then the entire GnuCash program shuts down. 
This happens both on my desktop running Windows 7 and my laptop running
Windows XP. On the laptop I do get a box warning me that a .bin file has had
a problem and GnuCash needs to shut down.

I have followed the directions about downloading and installing the Perl
module Finance::Quote and the 'perldoc Finance::Quote' command brings up
documentation so installation seems to be OK. I find gnc-fq-dump in the
directory, but it is a file to read not a test program as referenced in the
help file.

What have I done wrong? Thanks for the help...

Alan Schold
