Hi BP
Background:
To retrieve price data, GnuCash depends on a Perl module called
Finance-Quote.
Finance-Quote depends on other Perl modules, including one called
Date-Manip.
Date-Manip in turn also depends on other Perl modules.
These modules may depend on further Perl modules.
Etc etc.
Most of these dependencies are *not* included in the base Perl installation.
Your problem:
Based on the scant information you have provided, it appears that the
Date-Manip module can't be installed because of one or more missing
dependencies.
Your task:
Carefully track down all the missing dependencies and install them.
I have no experience with MacOS, but Google is your friend:

Good luck, and report back with more details if you get stuck.

Thanks, John, for the suggestion. It ran--produced a lot of activity in the
Terminal window. The problems started immediately.
This message was first...
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
---- SBECK/Date-Manip-6.83.tar.gz ----
Then there was a whole lot of this message throughout...
Make had some problems, won't install
Delayed until after prerequisites
Also had loads and loads of ...
Warning: prerequisite < blah blah blah > with 'make => NO'.
Continuing, but chances to succeed are limited.
And if finally ended with these messages...
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Is there something else I can try, or another reference I can read? I don't
understand any of it and I'm thinking I did it wrong.
Thanks for all! (Even if I don't know what that is.)

I have set up) shows the Online Checkbox greyed-out with the same message familiar
to us: “Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly”. I also tried running
“gnc-fq-check“ and “gnc-fq-update” – No Joy!

The only thing you tried that's right is gnc-fq-update. It needs sudo as
shown in
