title: Load Excel data into Linux / wxWidgets C++ application?
body: <p>I'm using wxWidgets to write cross-plafrom applications. In one of applications I need to be able to load data from Microsoft Excel (.xls) files, but I need this to work on Linux as well, so I assume I cannot use OLE or whatever technology is available on Windows.</p>
  
  <p>I see that there are many open source programs that can read excel files (OpenOffice, KOffice, etc.), so I wonder if there is some library that I could use?</p>
  
  <p>Excel files it needs to support are very simple, straight tabular data. I don't need to extract any formatting except column/row position and the data itself.</p>
