Thanks, John, for the suggestion. It ran--produced a lot of activity in the
Terminal window. The problems started immediately.
This message was first...
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
---- SBECK/Date-Manip-6.83.tar.gz ----
Then there was a whole lot of this message throughout...
Make had some problems, won't install
Delayed until after prerequisites
Also had loads and loads of ...
Warning: prerequisite < blah blah blah > with 'make => NO'.
Continuing, but chances to succeed are limited.
And if finally ended with these messages...
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Is there something else I can try, or another reference I can read? I don't
understand any of it and I'm thinking I did it wrong.
Thanks for all! (Even if I don't know what that is.)

I read the GnuCash wiki on Online Quotes; I have perl installed; I used CPAN;
I’m getting lost in the weeds. The ‘Security Edit’ page (for any given
security which I have set up) shows the Online Checkbox greyed-out with the
same message familiar to us: “Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly”.
I also tried running “gnc-fq-check“ and “gnc-fq-update” – No Joy!

The only thing you tried that's right is gnc-fq-update. It needs sudo as
shown in
