anyone else seen this?

   mussel:~ > gem install fastercsv
   Attempting local installation of 'fastercsv'
   Local gem file not found: fastercsv*.gem
   Attempting remote installation of 'fastercsv'
   Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
   Successfully installed fastercsv-0.1.9
   Installing RDoc documentation for fastercsv-0.1.9...

   mussel:~ > ruby -r rubygems -e' require "fastercsv"; p FasterCSV '
   /dmsp/reference//lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__': no such file to load -- fastercsv (LoadError)
           from /dmsp/reference//lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require'
           from -e:1

but of course

   mussel:~ > ruby -r rubygems -e' require "faster_csv"; p FasterCSV '
   FasterCSV

a link

   fastercsv -> faster_csv

might be nice...

regards.

I've received this complaint before. The gem is named fastercsv, while the library is named faster_csv. (I have no clue why I did that.)

How do people feel about a name change of the gem for the next release (to faster_csv), realizing this will hinder RubyGems version control features for previous releases?

seems easier just to provide a gem that installs both : faster_csv.rb and
fastercsv.rb...

a link would suffice.

Rails has the same issue: gem activerecord vs file active_record.

The next release (very soon now, just needs docs) will have this. Thanks for the feedback!
