hi,
I've just installed Ubuntu Bionic (18.04), and elected to install
GNUCash from a "snap".
Using "snap find gnucash" I then found and installed gnucash-jz which
installed without trouble. So far so good :)
My accounts are sitting in a mysql database and it was possible to
connect to the db immediately. Great !
There are various stocks etc defined for auto price update ... which
worked nicely on the previous Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) system
GNUCash is telling me that there is no finance::quote module when I
access Securities Editor and look at the Quote Source Information for an
existing security
I then installed Finance::Quote and Date::Manip via CPAN ... in my home
directory (perl5) after using apt-get to install Ubuntu's
build-essential .. which all completed ok
Started gnucash again and it still says finance::quote is unavailable
?? Help
Is this because the snap cannot / does not search my home directory for
perl modules (I know it can access my home directory because I can save
files there .. and the modules are in ~/perl5/bin)
I can see gnucash mapped into my home directory at
/home/<me>/snap/gnucash-jz/ ... but I can't really tell what the search
path is
Do I need to install finance::quote in the system directory rather than
my home directory? Given the stirling work with mysql enablement it
seems more likely the snap actually does include finance::quote but not
found on my installation for some reason. Is there any way for me to
further debug ?
Thanks in advance
