Hi James,

I’m using ruby1.8.4 on win32. When I require ‘faster_csv’, it just
fails. I’ve found the problem comes from ‘forwardable’ module. I have
no idea why the ‘forwardable’ fails to be required as well. A bug of
ruby?

Forwardable was standard long before 1.8.4 and I know some people are
using FasterCSV under windows. I something is goofy with your
setup.

are you sure you are running ruby-1.8.4 and not another ruby on the
system?

Sorry for the confusion, the tests run fine from command line. The
require failure only occurs in IRB. Anyway, I’m gonna test the water
now…

Thank you for the faster library.

It returns a ‘false’. and “require ‘forwardable’” returns the same
‘false’ as well in IRB. Other dependant modules used by FasterCSV are
fine. Thank you for telling me that issue, which does confuse me for a
while.

Does it “fail” or just return false? Try using it after the
require. (This is a known RubyGems issue.)
