[GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[R Losey]

David, thank you.

I did this on my iMac; it ran a LONG time with LOTS of output, and
installed the development tools, but finally finished. Even though I'm a
software engineer, it was kind of scary.

But the "Get Quotes" is still greyed out, even though I ran the
gnc-fq-update...

When I attempt the gnucash-cli command, it fails, stating that
Finance::Quote is missingcthe JSON::Parse module
