Have you installed FasterCSV? If so, you are probably just missing:

require “rubygems”

at the top of your file.

It’s not included with RubyGems, no. But you can use gems to install  
it by feeding your command-line something like:

gem install fastercsv

You may need to put an sudo in front of that if you’re on Unix.
