[GNC] Finance:Quote again [sorry]

[Kalpesh Patel]

That is all tell-tale sign of barfed up path for the env...

Additional steps to debug:

1 - Launch normal Command Prompt

2 - Type in following to know which perl binary you are actually executing:

	where perl

--> this should display 'C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe'

3 - type following at the command prompt (let's validate if the env is setup
correctly or not):

	perl --version

--> this step should display perl 5, version 28 (your might very in the
version but should be around '28')

4 - type following at the command prompt (let's validate if the F::Q is
setup and working correctly):

	perl -MFinance::Quote -e "print $Finance::Quote::VERSION .\"\n\";"

--> this step should display 1.54 (your might be different version)


As an alternate, after installing perl in the default location as mentioned
by folks here, run following command to install the F::Q module (no harm if
it is already installed, if not installed then it should attempt to do so
and if older version then it should upgrade to latest which is 1.54):

	perl -mCPAN -e install Finance::Quote

And then run step four above to validate that it is installed

hi Graham

You can try the following and hope it solves the problem

Please disable any anti virus software installed on your computer.

Install perl first in default location and then try installing online price
installer

The new command line query looks like this below, try to run it from a
command prompt and see if it is working

Go to the following folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin

execute the following query
gnucash-cli.exe --verbose -Q dump yahoo_json acn



Thanks Murugan

When I attempt that, I get :C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe --verbose -Q dump yahoo_json acn Price
retrieval failed: Failed to initialize Finance::Quote: missing_modules
Finance::Quote


so once again I tried the online price retrieval installer and this gave me
the attached message.

Does this give any clues before I [an amateur] start delving into and
editing files as others have suggested?
