Subject: Using roo to avoid need for Excel to be installed

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

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.0-x86-mswin32/lib/nokogiri/xml/build

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.
