Gnucash Finance::Quote not installed in macOS Sonoma 14.4

The Gnucash Finance::Quote is a perl module and it was working perfectly until I installed macOS 14.4. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the latest versions of both Gnucash and Finance::Quote and it still doesn’t load into Gnucash.

Running the perl module from the cli works as intended and the Gnucash stock prices are updated. The problem is that Gnucash just cannot load the perl module.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

After more searching I found the cause of the problem; an new Perl installation was included in macOS 14.4, updating it to version 5.34.

To fix the problem I had to reinstall the Finance::Quote module as Intel instead of the native Apple silicon as Gnucash runs using Rosetta. This was done using the command "sudo ARCHFLAGS='-arch arm64 -arch arm64e -arch x86_64' /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update" from an admin account.

You'll have to contact Gnucash technical support.
