It does not open in Precise even if I wait for more than 5 minutes.

I installed gnumeric 1.10.17 and it opens but gives following warning:

This is a file which I receive daily and I was opening it through WindowsXP/MS Office through Virtualbox. Now I can open it in gnumeric on Ubuntu 12.04.

Thank you.
