[GNC] GnuCash on macOS Big Sur "Finance::Quote isn't installed properly"

[Justin]

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with GnuCash (4.4) and Finance::Quote (1.49) on macOS Big Sur (11.0). Despite not being officially supported, GnuCash itself works great, with the exception of Finance::Quote. The "get quotes" button in the Price Database is grayed out and the Security Editor has the warning "Finance::Quote isn't installed properly." When running Gnucash-cli, there is a similar error:

> $ /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash-cli --quotes get /Users/username/Documents/Finances/Tracking/finances.gnucash --debug
> Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash-cli
>

The error message above isn't particularly useful. It gets printed here:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/1e7433daf3307fb3e6ff6d479aacb22d42941fda/gnucash/gnucash-commands.cpp#L91

I'm pretty sure that Finance::Quote itself is installed properly. I'm not really sure why GnuCash does not recognize it.

A basic query shows that it does work:

> $ echo '(yahoo_json "CSCO")' | /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-helper
> (("CSCO" (symbol . "CSCO") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-01-19 12:00:00") (last . #e45.19) (currency . "USD")))

Thanks,
