Subject: Spreadsheet -0.6.5.1 "invalid encoding" Problem

Hi,
I just gem installed spreadsheet and tried the example ,
(Ruby 1.8.6 on HP-UX)
<<
require 'spreadsheet'
book = Spreadsheet.new 'excel-file.xls'
sheet = book.worksheet 0
sheet.each do |row| puts row[0] end
>>
and was rewarded with the stack trace below.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm missing or what can I do to fix
it ?
Thanks,
Tad
