Hello, 

Thanks for the wonderful software. 

Has anyone tried the live price quote in GnuCash win32? Does it work?

I have compiled GnuCash win32 successfully according to the wiki. To
enable the live price quote, I have run gnc-fq-update successfully. To run
gnc-fq-update successfully, I have installed Activeperl 5.8 separately.
The activeperl 5.6 that comes with msys-DTK cannot complete gnc-fq-update,
because it will give the compilation error below:

cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-fnative-struct"


After running gnc-fq-update with Activeperl 5.8, I can run gnc-fq-dump and
gnc-fq-helper at shell to get quote without problem. But when I come to
Add New Security Editor screen
<http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/figures/invest_newsecuri
ty.png>, the Quote Source Information check box is disabled, and the label
"Warning: Finance::Quote is not installed properly" is displayed. What's
wrong?


When I exit from Gnucash, I also get this in the command prompt:

gnucash: [E] "Failed to fork child process."

And Chris Shoemaker posted in <
http://www.mail-archive.com/gnucash-devel@gnucash.org/msg16609.html> that
it is related to price-quote retrieval and guile in win32.

Does this mean Finance::Quote fail to load in GnuCash because of guile
problem?
Does this mean live price quote won't work at all in GnuCash win32? Any
way out?


Thank you.

cheers,
zhimin
