I just ran gnc-fq-update (which is what Finance::Quote Update does, wrapped in an AppleScript) on 10.14.1 Developer Beta 18867a without any issues. It updated Date-Manip-6.72 cleanly. Digging in a bit more I find that I have an updated MakeMaker.pm as well as the 6.66 apparently distributed by Apple. You can probably fix that with sudo cpan install ExtUtils::MakeMaker in Terminal. That said, as long as you have some version of Date::Manip you should be OK on that front, and you do have the latest Finance::Quote. The problem you’re having is likely with the stocks you’re trying to get quotes for. Try running GnuCash from Terminal: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --log gnc.scm=debug That should print each symbol as it requests it along with the result of the request. It might provide some more info about the errors.
