I did this:  
./script/plugin install [http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_file\_column/](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_file_column/)  
plugins/file\_column/trunk

and I guess it installed, but this was at the end of the added files  
list:

Exported revision 27.  
subversion/libsvn\_wc/lock.c:370: (apr\_err=155007)  
svn: ‘plugins/file\_column’ is not a working copy

Anything to worry about?

thanks

Hmm… is your project under SVN? If so, try doing an svn clean and  
update  
and then reinstalling the plugin.

hi ramin,  
I also had problems with this, I was hoping perhaps you could shed  
some light? I have my project set up under svn, and have tried both  
plugin-installing and svn-checking-out file\_column, but then I have a  
hard time updating it and commiting the main project… get errors  
like the one above, for instance.

what’s fuzzy to me is how to do either of the above and then add them  
to the main project working copy… so far I’ve been svn-adding them  
after install or checkout, but then I get problems commiting  
everything, or updating just the plugin.

hope I’m making sense… been looking for a better explanation of  
this, I couldn’t quite figure out how exactly to use svn:externals  
props from the wiki and the svn book
