I am using fastercsv to process input files. I want to install it into my app/vendor directory as a gem (I guess). I used ''rake rails:freeze:gems'' to get rails into the vender dir. But I cannot find any doc on how to do it for fastercsv or any third-party gem. Any help appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using fastercsv such that in my rake file I''m doing this. require ''fastercsv'' It works fine on my Mac. I need to freeze this gem into the app though so my rake tasks work on the production machine. ----------- I spent about two hours though this weekend trying to get this Gem "frozen" into the vendor/gems folder.

All, This may be a gem question (not rails) but I feel sure someone else on this list has seen this issue go by. I use a hosting service that has ROR available, but I am among the few developers using it. I am developing on a local linux box, and have been very careful to NOT use any extra gems because I might have a problem with my provider. Well ... fastercsv rocks and I wanted to use it. My

I have successfully setup a database with a single table called transactions
