Ruby is looking for the 'parseexcel' include file and can't find it. Do "locate parseexcel.rb" to see whether it is installed at all. If not, do "gem install parseexcel" to install the gem. If you do locate the file, it means it's in the wrong directory and you need to tell ruby where to look for libraries: $ ruby -I /my/include/dir/ruby/gems/1.8/gems test.rb Good luck, Dan Aaron wrote: > I got this error in Ubuntu when i wanted to use parseexcel . > Here is the code : > require 'parseexcel' > > workbook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.parse("12.xls") > worksheet = workbook.worksheet(0) > ...... > > The full error message:"test.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load > -- parseexcel (LoadError) from test.rb:1 " > > Really wanna your help, thanks! > > >
