Plugin Installation Help

I need to install the classic_pagination plugin for reasons I'd rather not go into. However, when I run

ruby script/plugin install svn://errtheblog.com/svn/plugins/classic_pagination

there is no output (none at all), and it doesn't install the plugin, or do anything else as far as I can tell. I even tried installing will_paginate instead, but the same thing happens. Any help? This is a real bottleneck on my project.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the svn command line client installed (ie if you just type svn at a command line prompt does it run?)

No, I don't. Can you give me a link where I can download it? Thanks again.

it's the first hit if you google for svn.

So I downloaded two different versions of the svn client and I still can't install the plugin. This is getting kind of annoying because I was able to install auto_complete with no problem. Also, I'm going to have to get this rails code running on my employer's computer and I don't really want to make him install a program he's only going to use to install a single plugin. Is there an easier way to have classic pagination (as in without installing svn), or is there something really obvious that I'm missing?

Thanks.

script/plugin just copies the plugin from wherever it is to vendor/ plugins (and runs install.rb if it's there, this is not very common). If you can grab the files from somewhere else you can just copy them in. I can't check out code from that url either (svn: Can't connect to host 'errtheblog.com': Connection refused) so it may just be unavailable right now.

Once you've got the plugin in your app you don't need svn

Alright, I installed an older version of Rails and copied pagination.rb from

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-1.13.3\lib\action_controller

and pasted it in

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-2.0.1\lib\action_controller

but I still get "undefined method paginate" when I try to display the page. Are there some other files I need to copy/settings I need to change? The app is running Rails 2.0.1, by the way. Again, thanks for all your help on this.

yes. For starters you would need to modify actioncontroller.rb (which is the thing that loads the various bits of action controller). There seems to be a copy of classic_pagination at http://github.com/masterkain/classic_pagination/tree/master too.
