fastercsv.rb:1=0A=0AThat error is a little strange because it is complaini=
ng about a lack =0Aof a FasterCSV constant in the require. The file you r=
equired though, =0Afastercsv.rb, does not have a FasterCSV constant anywhe=
re in it. =0A(It's a shim that loads some other code.)=0A=0AMy guess is t=
his: you named your own file fastercsv.rb. When you try =0Ato require th=
e gem, Ruby is finding your file first and it fails to =0Aload because Fas=
terCSV was never defined. If I'm right, you just need =0Ato rename your f=
ile and it will work.=0A=0AHope that helps.=0A=0AJames Edward Gray II=0A=0A=
