I'll show you my output here:

rake gems
(in /Users/jp/Sites/central/trunk)
  - [F] authlogic 
    - [R] activesupport 
  - [F] builder 
  - [F] formtastic 
    - [R] activesupport >= 2.3.0
    - [R] actionpack >= 2.3.0
  - [ ] fastercsv 

 I = Installed
 F = Frozen
 R = Framework (loaded before rails starts)

Making sure fastercsv is installed:

gem which fastercsv
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fastercsv-1.5.3/lib/fastercsv.rb

After installing through a variety of methods but only one is shown here:

sudo rake gems:install
(in /Users/jp/central/trunk)
gem install fastercsv
Successfully installed fastercsv-1.5.3
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for fastercsv-1.5.3...
Installing RDoc documentation for fastercsv-1.5.3...

And try it again.

rake gems
(in /Users/jp/Sites/central/trunk)
  - [F] authlogic 
    - [R] activesupport 
  - [F] builder 
  - [F] formtastic 
    - [R] activesupport >= 2.3.0
    - [R] actionpack >= 2.3.0
  - [ ] fastercsv 

 I = Installed
 F = Frozen
 R = Framework (loaded before rails starts)

One thing to know is that I tried unpacking the gems but if it doesn't think it's installed it can't unpack it.

Another thing is that I really tried to figure this out. There's a bunch of people saying clean up local gems in your user account, always install with sudo, etc. But I've tried all that.

What would you guys do to fix this?

Thanks many times over,

Josh
