Vincent, Here's an example of a failed session with Homebrew interference: https://paste.jvnv.net/view/CcsOd This comes from an IRC discussion at https://code.gnucash.org/logs/2024/04/16.html#T06:46:33. There was an earlier exchange with another longer dump that implicated Homebrew in which I told the user to clean it out but gncbot was apparently offline when that occurred and I don't have a link to it. In the dump you can see that the user is invoking gnc-fq-update and that it's running /usr/bin/perl. Later at line 97 you can see that /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.34 is missing from @INC. That's where the pre-built networking modules are.
Another user supplied this ill-considered and reverted edit on the wiki pointing at the same problem: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/index.php?title=Online_Quotes&diff=22109&oldid=21974. That's pretty much all I've got. Regards, John Ralls > On Apr 25, 2024, at 20:11, Vincent Lucarelli <vincent.lucare...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > John, > > I run macOS and use Homebrew.
