Finance Quote and Mountain Lion

[David T.]

I was having trouble getting F::Q to run on my Mac (OSX 10.8.2, GC 2.4.11, updated from an earlier machine/OSX), and was receiving the errors mentioned in the July thread concerning F::Q and Mountain Lion (http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2012-July/045396.html). That thread helped me get F::Q to run. 


The Readme file bundled in the 2.4.11 dmg should be updated with accurate information about this. I recommend adding a note in the Installing Finance::Quote section immediately after the first sentence. The first paragraph thus would read:

You can install Finance::Quote by double-clicking the FinanceQuoteUpdate applet in the dmg. For Mountain Lion, copy FinanceQuote Update.app into the Applications folder and Control-Click the applet. This process can be painful, especially if you don't already have Xcode installed.
I also attempted to update the OSX wiki page (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz), but the edits wouldn't go through since I was not able to see the captcha images. The first section links to GC 2.4.8. For longterm reliability, the MacOSX/Quartz Downloads section should be changed as follows:

Gnucash is available as a binary download from the Gnucash project at [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnucash Sourceforge].'''
