I don't know where the gnc-fq-* files are put on a Linux installation, but they are just short Perl scripts that do the stuff for you. I'm on OS X, and on there the files are in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin Either way, here the text from "gnc-fq-update". You can copy this into a file, make it executable with a "chmod 755" and you should be in business.
