Using roo to avoid need for Excel to be installed

ruby-talk
1

I have installed rubyzip and roo gems to bypass the need to have excel
installed when reading excel workbooks.

When I do in irb
require 'zip/zipfilesystem'
require 'roo'

I get error

There is something about this topic on the German version of this forum
http://forum.ruby-portal.de/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10616 but it says
everything should be fine after I have specified the two requires.

sorry, the dependencies from other gems were not defined in this release.

You need to install these gems:

'spreadsheet', '> 0.6.4'
'nokogiri', '>= 0.0.1'
'builder', '>= 2.1.2'
'gimite-google-spreadsheet-ruby','>= 0.0.5'
'febeling-rubyzip','>= 0.9.2'

Do you plan to do anything about that ?
Kind of a trouble if I may say...

I also had to install hpricot and oauth gems... (And use rubyzip2
instead of febeling-rubyzip which work the same)
May be of interest for someone !

I was able to install the first three, but "gem install" couldn't find
gimite-google-spreadsheet-ruby or febeling-rubyzip. I eventually managed
to satisfy dependencies by installing rubyzip (not rubyzip2 as mentioned
in hamlet's post) and google-spreadsheet-ruby.
