[GNC] Access problems fetching shares prices from, Australian Stock Exchange

[Jediator]

Peter, I am not sure if this thread had come to a satisfactory closure, 
but I was able to take an old MacBookPro 13" i5 out of the basement and 
baselined it with the spec you provided.  After installing the latest 
GnuCash and updated Finance::Quote, I was able to run quotes against ASX 
(see attached screenshot).

I guess the remaining options would be to reinstall both the MacOS and 
XCode before do another round of Finance::Quote update. Sometimes when a 
computer is cluttered with many parts that overlay on each other, it's 
hard to figure out what really cause the problem.  A baselined approach 
would definitely help.

Cheers!
