Hi:

Wondering if anyone can help me. I am having terrible problems installing plugins for my rails app. Tried to install simply_searchable and all it did was create a folder in the plugins directory. I do not have subversion, I was trying to install acts_as_ferret but that didn't work either, even said it was installed, but it is not there, just an empty directory. Actaully I am just looking for a simple way to put a search form to search for records in my database, but everything I try doesn't work. Tried the simple search at the wiki, but all that did was generate a no method error. Very fustrating. Any help would be appreciated. I am a rails newbie.

Thanks Brian

For most plugins, installing just means copying some files into vendor/plugins. By default script/plugin install will just try and do an svn checkout or export so not having subversion could easily kill it. Have you tried installing subversion ? You might need the actual binaries rather than something like tortoisesvn
