I posted a similar question to the ruby mailing list a few months ago to no avail. Ideally, someone much more talented than myself would create a open OLAP library in C that could be interfaced with dynamic languages easily (I ordered some OLAP books and started in on this, and decided I was in over my head for now). As far as free software, all I've been able to find is java-based Mondrian. Maybe it could serve as a reference implementation for someone.
