Re: Reading Excel or Libreoffice files

Hi Josh

I am searching for the same tool Luciano is asking for and I had found 
yours a promising solution.  But I cannot find how to install it, 
although it seems pretty simple, since it is a lonely .lua file.  I took 
a look at the code and found that it depends on other libraries, such as 
ziparchive and xmlize which I couldn't install either (these are C 
libraries; not so simple to install :-).  I notice also that there is an 
issue reporting difficulties installing the library on Linux (which is 
my platform :-) and on a MacOSX:

Have you consider producing a rockspec?  It should solve installation 
problems on both Linux and MacOSX...

Tomás
