THAT WORKED!! YES! That paragraph the begins 'Since  Lion doesn't have a distribution DVD …' was the key. Plz update the README since it won't work otherwise.

Once it's installed, you have to run it, open XCode->Preferences, go to the downloads tab, and check the box next to Command Line Tools. Once *that's* installed, you can close XCode and double-click the "FinanceQuote Update" app in the Gnucash distribution dmg.

It will run a long script that will ask you a bunch of questions, to which you can just accept the defaults. When the script is done you can quit Terminal and if all went well, Finance::Quote will be installed.

Basically the window seems to be frozen and will not allow me to type anything after "password". I advise that I do not have a password to log in. I have alternatively created a password and tried again, without success.
