Hi, Whenever I click on the 'Get Quotes' button on the Tools > Price Database menu Gnucash crashes with the following error: > Backtrace: > 1 (apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 7f37ec0bf320>) > In price-quotes.scm: > 417:57 0 (gnc:book-add-quotes #<swig-pointer GtkWindow * 559e2d…> …) > > price-quotes.scm:417:57: In procedure gnc:book-add-quotes: > In procedure car: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting pair): () I've tried compiling Gnucash against Guile 2.0, but I get a similar error: > Backtrace: > In ice-9/boot-9.scm: > 160: 2 [catch #t #<catch-closure 7f3339d4d500> ...] > In unknown file: > ?: 1 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 7f3339d4d500>] > In price-quotes.scm: > 417: 0 [gnc:book-add-quotes # #] > > price-quotes.scm:417:57: In procedure gnc:book-add-quotes: > price-quotes.scm:417:57: In procedure car: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting pair): () I've also checked if the problem was in the Finance::Quote Perl module, but I've tested it using 'gncfq-dump' and it seems to work properly (actually I couldn't get results from European stocks, but I believe this is a different problem): > $ ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX gnc-fq-dump usa aapl > Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: > symbol: aapl <=== required > date: 02/26/2020 <=== recommended > currency: USD <=== required > last: 292.6500 <=\ > nav: <=== one of these > price: <=/ > timezone: <=== optional I've tried debugging price-quotes.scm but I'm having a hard time, since my knowledge of Guile/Scheme is very limited and I don't know how to make the display function to print the messages when libguile is being called through Gnucash. > Software versions: > Gnucash: git-maint > Finance::Quote: 1.49 > Guile: 2.2.6/2.0.14 > OS: ArchLinux I also include a trace file, but a quick look didn't reveal anything really interesting.

What is the output of: $ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX echo '(usa "aapl")' | gnc-fq-helper Don't forget to adjust the §ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.
Hi Frank, thanks for your help. The output of the gnc-fq-helper command is the following: > (("aapl" (symbol . "aapl") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2020-02-26 12:00:00") (last . #e292.65) (currency . "USD")))
In order to run the previous command I had to install the Perl Date::Manip module, since I was getting the following error: > Can't locate Date/Manip.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Date::Manip module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at bin/gnc-fq-helper line 29. > BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at bin/gnc-fq-helper line 29. After installing the package I checked whether the problem persisted, and it did. However, after restarting I've noticed Gnucash no longer crashes, so this was the cause. Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the noise! Ferran
For the record, and in order to help diagnose this better in the future, we could consider extending the code in price-quotes.scm that checks for missing Perl libraries: > ((memq 'missing-lib fq-results) > (set! keep-going? #f) > (show-error (N_ "You are missing some needed Perl libraries. > Run 'gnc-fq-update' as root to install them.")))
Chris, your opinion on comment 5?
It was a perl problem, not a scheme one: There was a use Date::Manip at the top of the gnc-fq-helper that caused a compilation failure before it got to the library check. Now fixed.
