Trouble installing Finance::Quote on Mac OSX Yosemite

I installed GnuCash 2.6.17 and it runs fine.  However, I am having trouble with Finance::Quote.  Initially FinanceQuote Update wouldn't run, but I got around that by allowing apps from unidentified developers.  When I launch it, it opens a terminal window and asks for my password.  It tries to install Finance::Quote, but gets stuck at the following:


Running make test

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

t/00compile.t ............. ok

t/01perl_bugs.t ........... ok

t/02-xsdynamic.t ..........


It never completes the 02-xsdynamic.t test, just sits there.  But the process at the top of the terminal window changes back and forth periodically between "lipo" and "xcrun."  I'd guess it's stuck in some kind of a loop.  I checked the console but didn't see any error messages that appeared to be related to this.


I also tried installing manually using

perl -MCPAN -e shell
 install Finance::Quote

This completed successfully, but GnuCash doesn't seem to know that Finance::Quote is there - when I try to download quotes, it says "There was a system error while retrieving the price quotes."  Again there is nothing in the console that would give any insight about what's going on.


Thanks for any suggestions.
