Unfortunately, adding these lines to my config.user did not result in any 
further information.  I am stumped, and disappointed.

It seems that an upgrade of GnuCash not only tanks one’s customized environment 
file in the application bundle (understandable), but also any additional files 
that a user might have put into the DOT_GNUCASH_DIR folder—like, custom scheme 
reports, or a config.user file that a user might have created in vain attempts 
to get said custom reports to load into their personal installation of GnuCash. 
I find this circumstance to be rather troubling, as the files that a user has 
put into this folder should not be summarily sent to the executioner by the 
next version of the application. This is especially troubling given that the 
authorized methods for creating and using custom scheme reports (as convoluted 
and sensitive as they are) specifically directs such reports to be placed into 
this folder. If *I* were to have written a custom report for GnuCash (as 
opposed to simply copying someone else’s work to my own system) I would be 
pretty ticked off to find my work discarded this way. Thank goodness I had 
backups, but really, one shouldn’t have to restore from a backup on this.

I have now created a simple file to test out price retrieval. I put one stock 
account that uses AAPL, a cash account and Equity, and created a simple buy 
transaction (to create one price entry). For me, this file fails in the same 
way. I attach it here, so that someone else can test it. If it works for you, 
then there is something about my Mac that F::Q doesn’t like. And then I am 
really up the creek, because it’s a big operating system out there…
