"Gets nothing on my linux." sounds like those modules have not been initialized as your system is NOT running in an "island" configuration since sudo make install works. This might possibly be an outbound firewall issue although if wget and/or curl works then not.
Run following: perl -MCPAN -e shell to see if you get 'cpan>' prompt. If not then most likely CPAN module is not installed on your system which would be unusual as it comes with modern perl. Not sure which type of Linux you are running but generally if a Perl library is named Foo::Bar on CPAN (CPAN is named CPAN), the Debian/Ubuntu package will be named libfoo-bar-perl and for Fedora/Redhat it will be named perl-Foo-Bar. If you have cpan modules installed then it is a good idea to initialize it by executing 'o conf commit' at CPAN shell prompt of 'cpan>'. -----Original Message----- From: Fred Tydeman <tydeman.f...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2024 11:50 PM To: Bruce Schuck <bsch...@asgard-systems.com> Cc: GnuCash User <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote PreRelease 1.61_03 Running: sudo make install worked.
