[GNC] gnucash: Not able to get Online Quotes to work

[John Ralls]

Those both show catastrophic failure of GnuCash to even start, so there’s something wrong with the way you’re trying to start GnuCash from the command line. There may be a clue there: You can run gnc-fq-dump but not GnuCash, so GnuCash when launched the usual way must be getting a different environment, one that doesn’t get the same perl includes that your command-line one does.

Regards,
John Ralls
