Dennis,
Very good, almost there. The only problem is the failed test in B::Keywords, which you can work around with
sudo cpan -f -i B::Keywords
and then re-run
sudo /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update
Regards,
John Ralls

I then ran “/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update” without sudo and ended up with 330 pdf pages of terminal dump. I then ran it again with sudo and have attached the terminal info from that command. I then ran the check and got the following:

I love using GC and it works great until MAC or sometimes GC updates and there are problems which I try to find solutions to in the Archives. But when I don’t, I ask for help but again am not that coding or terminal savvy. I do try though and appreciate all the help and patience you all provide.

At the “dquote>” prompt, I typed in “gnc-fq-update” which just went to the “dquote>” prompt again without updating FQ. Is gnc-fq-update the command or am I supposed to type something in front of gnc-fq-update?

Since I am missing the “-rwxr-xr-x”, does that mean I don’t have “make” and “xcrun” installed?

So apparently, I am not doing this correctly.

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”
