Hello,
I'm testing GnuCash software on windows 10 64bit, to see if it is useful
for me (as opposed to buying Quicken!)
I wasn't able to install Finance::Quote successfully using this procedure:
Microsoft Windows:
??? Close GnuCash.
??? Run Install Online Price Retrieval which can be found in the GnuCash
???Start??? menu entry.
===========================================================================================================
So, i downloaded and installed Strawberry Perl 5.30.q.q-*64 bit*
(successfully), then used cpan to install Finance::Quote, which also
installed successfully
my windows environment has the correct Alpha Vantage?? key, as does
GnuCash in edit/preferences/online quotes
i don't know if it is working properly, though, and, i couldn't figure
out how to run gnu-fq-dump (unless i have to do it in the session in
which i installed Finance::Quote)
i tried in the CMD window:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuCash\bin>cpan gnc-fq-dump
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging
CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.217)
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v6.42)

Updating database file ... Done!
>(error): Could not expand [gnc-fq-dump]. Check the module name.
>(info): I can suggest names if you install one of
Text::Levenshtein::XS, Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS,
Text::Levenshtein, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::PP
>(info): and you provide the -x option on invocation.
>(error): Skipping gnc-fq-dump because I couldn't find a matching
namespace.
===============================================================================================
i added a fund to security editor (it isn't in my investments accounts
as a sub account--- is that a problem???), and checked get quotes
when i?? execute get quotes function (in price database, not price
"editor", with or without funds added), GnuCash closes/crashes and i
have a .LCK file
from the GnuCash guide:
You may occasionally see .LNK and .LCK files appear. These do not store
any data, but they are created
to prevent more than one user from opening the same file at the same
time. These files are automatically
created when you open the file, to lock it so no one else can access it.
When you close your GnuCash
session or open another file, GnuCash unlocks the first data file by
deleting the .LCK and .LNK files.
If GnuCash crashes while you have a data file open, the .LCK and .LNK
files are not deleted. The next
time you try to open GnuCash, you will get a warning message that the
file is locked. The warning message
appears because the .LNK and .LCK files are still in your directory. It
is safe to choose Yes to open the
file, but you should delete the .LNK and .LCK files (using a terminal
window or your file manager). Once
those files are deleted, you will not get the warning message again
unless GnuCash crashes.
So, I think GnuCash believes Finance::Quote is another user, maybe,
because I installed GnuCash manually (couldn't succeed any other way),
and they aren't properly linked
how do i get Finance::Quote integrated with my GnuCash install, so i can
use it (i.e., doesn't crash)?
Thanks!
