You should use fpc.sty that comes with the FPC docs;
Alternatively, copy the definition of FPCltable from the fpc.sty
file to your main document preamble.

It is one of the things on my todo list to remove this dependency.
The main problem is that there is a variety of table formats, and
I haven't found a satisfying approach to this.
