Hi,

GnuCash 5.3, as packaged in Guix, cannot access quote sources. When adding a new security, it displays "Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly." and the "Get Online Quotes" checkbox is greyed out.

I am on an up-to-date Guix System and the rest of GnuCash seems to be working fine.

It seems the package perl-finance-quote was not automatically installed with gnucash, so I installed it. I then tried to follow the steps in the upstream doc: https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/finance-quote-install.html
But it did not change the result.

The flatpak version of GnuCash from flathub.org (also 5.3) appears to be working (on the same Guix System).


Best regards,
Altadil

If other distributions of GnuCash commonly ship with the necessary Perl
modules necessary for this feature to work, perhaps we should too?  It
could be done by wrapping the GnuCash binary with the Perl search path
(PERL5LIB, I reckon).

Would you like to give it a try?

Hi,

I have no idea how this wrapping thing works, but I am willing to look at it. Is there any example of how to do that ?

Hello,
after looking at the package definition, I did see the wrapping code. So the required module should be available. I don’t know why gnucash doesn’t find it. I tried launching the program from the CLI to see more of what’s going on, but it doesn’t print anything when trying to add a new security.

Best regards,
Altadil
