Windows OS. Am running the following command to install authlogic. But the command is not working. Running the script creates an empty folder named authlogic inside /vendor/plugins directory but no files are copied inside it. The script runs within a millisecond and returns without an error. ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic.git --force Does anyone know about any bug or something? \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* actionmailer (2.3.2) actionpack (2.3.2) activerecord (2.3.2) activeresource (2.3.2) activesupport (2.3.2) capistrano (2.5.5) cgi\_multipart\_eof\_fix (2.5.0) cmdparse (2.0.2) fastthread (1.0.1) fxri (0.3.7) fxruby (1.6.19) gem\_plugin (0.2.3) highline (1.5.1) hpricot (0.8.1) linecache (0.43) log4r (1.0.5) mongrel (1.1.5) mysql (2.7.3) needle (1.3.0) net-scp (1.0.2) net-sftp (2.0.2) net-ssh (2.0.11) net-ssh-gateway (1.0.1) ptools (1.1.6) rails (2.3.2) rake (0.8.7) ruby-debug-base (0.10.3) ruby-debug-ide (0.4.5) rubygems-update (1.3.3) sources (0.0.1) sqlite3-ruby (1.2.1) test-unit (2.0.2) win32-api (1.4.0) win32-clipboard (0.5.1) win32-dir (0.3.4) win32-eventlog (0.5.0) win32-file (0.6.1) win32-file-stat (1.3.3) win32-process (0.6.0) win32-sapi (0.1.4) win32-sound (0.4.1) windows-api (0.3.0) windows-pr (1.0.4) ---

Did you try installing the gem? For example, ```ruby gem install authlogic ``` ---

Yes, the gem installation works. Once the gem was installed, i just cut pasted the folder from ruby gems folder to the vendor/plugins folder in my application and it worked ! I do not have git installed. -Pratik ---
