Quote retrieval with this file gnucash-1.8.12 results in the first described error (4.16 KB, text/plain)

Description Florian 2005-11-06 14:56:46 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I cant retrieve any currency (USD, GBP) quotes at the moment, since 1month or 
so.
The base currency is EUR.

If I set up a simple account structure with one USD currency account the error 
message is: "There was an unknown error retrieving the price quotes".

In my working structure I get: "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: 
ISO4217:USD; Continue using only the good quotes?"

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I guess your installed quote provider simply changed its provided quotes. If in
doubt, ask on the gnucash-de mailing list and maybe someone can tell you more.
Comment 3 Florian 2005-11-11 19:32:59 UTC 
What is the installed quote provider? is there a way to test currency quotes 
with dump-finance-quote? I don't have the German version installed, though, or 
why the german mailinglist, because of EUR?

thx
Comment 4 David Hampton 2005-11-15 15:07:53 UTC 
Yahoo changed the web page where it provides currency quotes.  You will need
update your Finance::Quote installation from the cvs sources at sourceforge.net.
 This problem occurred and was fixed after the 1.10 release, so you willl need
current cvs.
Comment 5 Florian 2005-11-18 19:42:23 UTC 
did you mean 1.8.10 (I have 1.8.12) or 1.10 isnt there only 1.9.x in the cvs?
