[GNC] 5.5-1 crashing on macOS 14.3

[David Reiser]

You could try: sudo arch -arch x86_64 cpan -f JSON::Parse

You definitely need the x86_64 version of Perl modules for use with gnucash on Macs with Apple silicon cpus (M1, M2, M3) because gnucash is running in rosetta. I think if you tried the gnc-fq-udate first, you may have satisfied the requirement for everything except JSON::Parse.

I my command, I’m not sure you need the “arch” without the - sign. But you do need the “-f” (force) instead of the plain “-i” (install) because you already have a version of JSON::Parse installed, and the installer then ignores the arch difference and says you’re OK.

The 14.4 release *should* be substantially the same, but I'm traveling this month with only the one computer so I'm not going to take any upgrades until I get back home, nor will I be able to build a new package until then.
