Hello,
I just unpacked tika 0.8 on my Mac OS 10.6.5 system, hoping to be able to
extract data from an xls spreadsheet. Unfortunately, I got the following error
below.
I was excited to find tika, (I have been using python xlrb before)... I hope I
was just unlucky to hit an error with my first parsing attempt. I would be
grateful for any help.
