mine's in ~/.profile and not in ~/.bashrc, so while it might help, it  
doesn't appear to be required.

What happens if you just type 'gnucash' in a terminal window?
If you have to use /sw/bin/gnucash, then I think you should try running

/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh

to see if that helps. The gnc-fq-helper that launches finance-quote  
for gnucash is in /sw/bin, so your system probably looks in the  
current app's directory as part of the ephemeral path once x11 knows  
where gnucash came from.

You should only have to run pathsetup once.

If that doesn't work, please post the output of:

fink --version | head -n 2

and

fink list -i gnucash2 finance-quote libwww html-tableextract crypt- 
ssleay perl

(that last bit is one line, but the mailing list may wrap it).

Also, do you get the same answer to 'which perl' when you type it in a  
regular terminal and in an xterm window? (I sure hope so, but I'm  
fishin' here...)
