[GNC] Stock quotations

[Ira Fuchs]

If I run gnc-fq-update (as I’ve tried several times), it ends with:

All tests successful.
Files=59, Tests=82,  8 wallclock secs ( 0.14 usr  0.11 sys +  6.33 cusr  1.11 csys =  7.69 CPU)
Result: PASS
  BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.5301.tar.gz
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Test::Kwalitee)
  BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.5301.tar.gz
  [dependencies] -- NA
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

I have then tried to do force install Finance::Quote and that ends with:

All tests successful.
Files=59, Tests=82,  8 wallclock secs ( 0.13 usr  0.10 sys +  6.96 cusr  1.05 csys =  8.24 CPU)
Result: PASS
Terminal does not support GetHistory.
Lockfile removed.
  BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.5301.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make test -- OK
Running make install for BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.5301.tar.gz
Manifying 48 pod documents
Appending installation info to /usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.34.0/lib/perl5/5.34.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/perllocal.pod
  BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.5301.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make install  — OK

If I then open Gnucash and go to the Security Editor, it says “warning: Finance::Quote is not installed properly”.

>>> Yeah, GnuCash's interface script also requires Date::Manip. The easiest way to make sure your installation is correct is to use /Applications/GnuCash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update.
