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

[John Ralls]

Super. I guess you needed to install JSON::Parse and maybe other dependencies in the Rosetta instance. No doubt it's lost now but I wonder if during the Rosetta install cpan saw that it was already installed and couldn't tell that it was for the wrong architecture.

John Ralls

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.
