Thanks, will be trying it out. However, at the meantime, not sure I have installed svn or not. So try to explicitly install it. I tried install the .msi of TortosieSVN, but it does not come with svn.exe. So I went and download manually their svn.exe. But when I run it, in dos prompt, it pop-up error message saying: The procedure entry point\_apr\_hash\_clear@4 could not be located in the dynamic link library libapr\_tsvn.dll. Or is there a way for me to confirm if i have installed svn?

I think you need something like: require “will\_paginate” in your environment.rb file. Be sure to put it after the Rails::Initializer block so all the Rails goodies are loaded–will- pagenate needs them. On Nov 5, 7:27 pm, Hammer T.

You dont need svn or git to install the plugin… Just get the download from the project site and extract it to your vendor/plugin directory… ---

While trying to follow the installation instruction on the github website, encounter another error when I came to the section on “braid”: When trying to merge the track using: ``` git merge braid/track ``` it throw the following error: ``` Fatal: Not a git repository. ``` Is this because I am using Windows Vista? So I try to install rails v2.1.2 so that I can use the “ruby script/plugin …” command to do the same job, but it pop-up an error windows with the following error: ``` The procedure entry point_apr_hash_clear@4 could not be located in ``` the dynamic link library libapr\_tsvn.dll. When I close the error window, another window pop-up that says: ``` SVN_FILE_DESCRIPTION has stopped working...Windows searching for ``` solution. This is the same error i encounter when trying to run “svn.exe” mentioned in my earlier mail. So I am stuck again… dl wrote: > I think you need something like: > > require “will\_paginate” > > in your environment.rb file.

After downloading and setup command line Slik SVN [Download SlikSVN Subversion client](http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download), I do not have the window error (that says “The procedure entry point …”) anymore. However, when I run ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/mislav/will\_paginate.git It has another error: Plugin not found: [“git://github.com/mislav/will\_paginate.git”] The other option of running “git merge braid/track” still have the same error. What else could be missing here ???

Just realized I did managed to install will\_paginate already, using the gem install method. Didn’t realize earlier as i kept looking at the /vendor directory. At least i can finally continue with the pagination coding. 🙂
