i have been trying to install the geokit plugin. for some reason  
script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/geokit/trunk  
isn’t working for me. i downloaded it as a zip file from  
[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=3031](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3031)  
but don’t know what to do now.

i tried extracting it and typing “ruby script/plugin install c:  
\path\_to\_geokit\_folder” from my rails app but that didn’t work either.  
how do i get this installed into my rails app?
