Gnucash / Finance::Quote cannot retrieve Spanish stocks and funds

[Jose Gómez]

I am trying to get the current value of a Spanish fund (INGDIRECTFNE.BC)
from Gnucash, and it is not working.

Trying with Finance::Quote directly I get:

    $ gnc-fq-dump -v yahoo_europe INGDIRECTFNE.BC
    Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
        symbol: INGDIRECTFNE.BC      <=== required
          date: ** missing **        <=== required
      currency: ** missing **        <=== required
          last:                      <=\
           nav:                      <=== one of these
         price:                      <=/
      timezone:                      <=== optional

    ** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!

The same happens with other Spanish funds:

These funds and stocks can be found perfectly in the finance.yahoo.com
website, but they don't work from Finance:Quote. Note that other stocks
work perfectly.

Is there anything I can try, or is it just an incompatibility whith Spanish
funds and stocks?

Thanks.
