First, I no longer maintain this package.  It's now maintained by
Hannes Wyss.

Second, you've got an old version of spreadsheet.  Use 0.3.5, available
at http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=678&release_id=6674

Third, you've got an old version of Ruby.  Even blastwave has a 1.8.4
package if you want a more recent version.  Or, you could build 1.8.5
by hand.
