That looks likes both install to be working fine. The difference in output might be from the differing versions on two systems, or just the order of two if they are same versions on both systems.
The best test is to create a new empty file in GNUCASH, define a single security -- say AAPL -- and enable it to fetch price for it. After that review the pricing table and see if it registered any pricing info or not. If that works then it is fully working and you might be running into a different problem which might be present in the book. If F::Q is tied into GNUCASH properly then Help --> About will display the version of F::Q as the fourth textual line underneath the Build ID will also display it. -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Albuquerque <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2026 10:39 AM To: Wm Tarr <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] Problem with Finance::Quote Wm, thank you for your time, Both commands return a list of sources, slightly different, but existing.
