When I try to install Engines, I get this error:

[acompw@a-c12 railsapp]$ ruby script/plugin install engines svn: URL  
‘svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/laszlo-plugin/rails/plugins’ non-existent  
in that revision

Can anyone shed some light on what this error means and what steps I can  
take to resolve it.

Thanks,  
Ben

If script/plugin discover doesn’t help, try moving your plugin source  
file (probably in ~/.rails-plugin-sources) out of the way and running  
script/plugin discover again. If that STILL doesn’t work, then it’s  
possible that someone has corrupted the wiki page somehow. My efforts  
aren’t focussed on cleaning that up, however, since there’s a better  
application on it’s way:
