Update Finance Quote app

When I try to run a script that doesn't exist from the Terminal I get an 
error message:
-bash: <name of script>: No such file or directory

You'd get this error trying to run
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update
if Gnucash wasn't installed, or wasn't installed in the standard location.

When I run a script where there's no interpreter available, I get the 
error message:
-bash: <name of script>: <name of interpreter>: bad interpreter: No such 
file or directory

You'd get that error if Gnucash was installed in the standard location, 
but XCode and its command-line tools tools weren't installed.

Wil -- what exactly is the whole error message you're seeing?

While this will create a duplicate copy of your file in the new location (not necessarily a terrible thing), it will also prevent Gnucash from barking at you when it tries to open the file if you had used method #1, or double-clicked on the Gnucash application icon.
