Hi all,

After installing ruby, rubygems, firewatir, which all seems working
fine, i would like to create some datadriven scripts with roo (to
access spreadsheets).

But when i tried to install roo "sudo gem install roo" i got the
following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo gem install roo
[sudo] password for yellowbug:
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing roo:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install roo
extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError)
        from extconf.rb:1


Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/
hpricot-0.8.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.8.1/ext/
hpricot_scan/gem_make.out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On this link i found out that installing ruby on Linux has some
issues, not everything is included in the default ruby install.

http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hoanga/2006/10/27/fixing-mkmf-load-error-ruby-in-ubuntu/comment-page-1/

So after "sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev" roo installed properly.

But the happy-happy-joy-joy was short, trying the roo examples i've
got the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'roo'

Help wanted!
Or does somebody know another trick to access OpenOffice Calc sheets
on Linux?
