[GNC] No Stock Quotes - OS Monterey, Gnucash 4.8(Build ID: 4.8a+(2021-09-28))

[David Reiser]

Matthias Fasching noted last summer that he needed to install Mozilla::CA to get quotes working for him in Big Sur.

That missing certificate collection was what had been keeping my office mac from being able retrieve quotes for at least a couple Gnucash versions. 
That change was after dealing with the B::Keywords test failures and needing to upgrade the Test2 module.

I hadn’t opened it but did after your response and told it to install the “additional components”.  After that, I ran the “gnc-fq-update” command again and got the “You need to install the following Perl modules: Finance::Quote” result when I ran a check, like before.  Terminal info is attached.  (Note: I changed the GC app name from Gnucash 4.8.app to just Gnucash.app so you will see that change in the sudo command line).

With this following path: xCode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin   I did find “make” but did not find “xcrun”.  Is that the correct location where they should be?  There are a lot of other xc—— commands but no “xcrun”

Terminal info from that run is attached, but basically it didn’t work since when I ran the gnc-fq-check again, I got the same message as above.

The Terminal information does not really make sense to me but there were several statements like “missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun “  and “the following files are missing in your kit: .travis.yml “ as well as others
