John:
I appreciate your help.
1. The default per on my path fails gnc-fq-check:
% perl /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-check
You need to install the following Perl modules:
Finance::Quote
Use your system's package manager to install them,
or run 'gnc-fq-update' as root.
missing-lib
2. Which perl? The perl installed by MacPorts in /opt/local:
% which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl
3. Where does the default perl on my path look for modules? From the
location where MacPorts installs perl packages:
% perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC), "\n";'
/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.26/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.26
4. Where did gnc-fq-update install its perl packages? In system
locations, /Library and /usr/local, and not in the MacPorts location.
This is what I saw just before having the above tests fail, and
gnucash-cli decline to retrieve quotes.

Finance::Quote is up to date (1.49).
OK, I can understand that the MacPorts installation of perl may be
configured to look for perl packages in MacPorts locations, and ignore
the system locations. But I don't understand wny the GUI app of GnuCash
apparently can find Finance::Quote when run from the GUI, but the
gnucash-cli app apparently cannot. What is different?

Jim,
Start with
perl /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-check
from Terminal to make sure that perl can find F::Q and
which perl
from Terminal to see what is the default perl.
If gnc-fq-check fails then
perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC), "\n";'
will show you where perl-from-terminal is looking for modules.

Hello, folks:
I have been retrieving online quotes from GnuCash through AlphaVantage for a
long time. I would now like to start using gnucash-cli to get online quotes via
automation. So first I tried it from Terminal, interactively.
It failed, with the error message, "No quotes retrieved. Finance::Quote isn't
installed properly."
However, I think Finance::Quote ought to be installed properly. a) Retrieving
quotes from the Gnucash… Tools… Price Database… Get Quotes… works fine. b)
gnc-fq-dump returns prices with no problem. c) gnc-fq-update runs with apparent
success.
Here's the diagnostics I get from running gnucash-cli:

GnuCash 4.5
Build ID: 4.5+(2021-03-27)
I am on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.
I don't use useful instructions in the wiki, or in a web search of the
gnucash-user archives (though the web search returns so little of relevance, I
think it must be missing some messages).
Any suggestions for diagnosing and fixing this problem?
My workaround is to continue running Get Quotes from with in the GUI until I
can make the gnucash-cli succeed.
Thank you,
