[GNC] Finance Quote Not working on MacBook Air M1 chip

[Deepti Randad]

I was able to create a “terminal instance” to run under Rosetta2 and also then was able to install Finance::Quote using gnc-fq-update.

However, when I tried to run the command "echo '(yahoo_json "CSCO")' | ./gnc-fq-helper”, I get a bunch of errors - as follows: (I have not had chance to troubleshoot these yet, maybe next weekend)

Thanks John for your guidance so far.

Try following the instructions in https://osxdaily.com/2020/11/18/how-run-homebrew-x86-terminal-apple-silicon-mac/ to create a Terminal instance that runs under Rosetta2 and use that to run gnc-fq-update.
