Thanks Tommy,

After reading things over I tried to do some checking...

Opened a new terminal and entered the following:

sudo perl /usr/bin/gnc-fq-update

This is the error message:

Can't open perl script "/usr/bin/gnc-fq-update": No such file or directory

gnc-fq-check ran correctly and listed ("1.38"..."yahoo"...)

Do I not have the Finance::Quote package properly installed? If so how 
can I get it, I installed/updated the following packages when my system 
was last built:

gnucash 1:2.12-1
gnucash-common 1:2.12-1
gnucash-docs 2.6.12-1

/usr/bin contains several gnc-fq files but update is not one of them!

Ideas?

Jay
