when i type

> ruby script/plugin install calendar\_helper  
> i get this:

Plugin not found: [“calendar\_helper”]

I don’t know if it’s because i’m behind a proxy coz i have to use proxy  
to install rails through gem like this  
gem install rails --include-dependencies -p http:…

In fact, i’ve read almost all i can find and still can’t figure it out.  
Before it drives me crazy, it there anyone who can help me out?

Thank you~  
Matt

I find a way to install plugin via local files. But still, it will be  
much better if I can do it via internet.

Is there anyone who knows the answer?
