Peter, Please use reply-all; keeping the conversation on the list ensures that you get the best advice (especially since I am not an expert, but just another user like you).
The output you included will likely be helpful. I see a lot of failures there, but it seems like the first one mentions that xcrun is missing from your command line tools. Did you install the Xcode toolset, as mentioned in the wiki? If that isn't the problem, perhaps others can advise.

And now these boolean values don't inherit JSON::Boolean, either.

Unfortunately, the help document doesn't actually provide step by step instructions on installation (an oversight, to be sure). However, the wiki has pretty detailed instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_install_Finance::Quote_on_a_Mac.3F Take a look at that page and see if it helps you, and let us know where in that process you get hung up.

Steps to enable On-line price updating When I type “perldoc Finance::Quote into the terminal window it returns No documentation found for "Finance::Quote” According to the docs this means that it is not installed, however it later says that if you have installed from the installer then Finance::Quote is already installed. Typing gnc-fq-dump returns command not found. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
