Can anyone assist me with a simple explanation of installing the  
parseexcel gem? I'm trying to follow the instructions provided with the  
download, but keep running into a wall. Thanks in advance!!

Seeing as you did not provide more specific information about this  
wall you are running into, I can only provide the very most basic of  
solutions...

install the ruby gems package manager:

[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/)

then:

gem install parseexcel
