I’ve been trying to install the plugin file\_column as per the  
instructions provided on the website. In short:

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

Unfortunately, for most of the afternoon and into this evening, the site  
seems to be having trouble. It has been reporting “Plugin not found:  
[file-column]” although occasionally it starts downloading files,  
getting through about 8 or 9 of them before it replies back with the  
error message from above.

Since I have been unable to find another repository with the code, I  
downloaded the latest copy directly from the site, uncompressed it and,  
per the README, dropped it into the plugins directory. However, as it is  
not working, I feel like there is another step I have to do - such as an  
install - does anybody have any suggestions about how to get on my way  
with this?
