I’m sorry I don’t have an answer, but I found that the auto\_complete  
plugin will not install due to proxy settings here at my day job office.  
So I manually copied the files to my vendor/plugin folder. But then I  
found that it still did not work. The files include a Rakefile. I  
remember something about being able to install using Rake Build… or  
something like that. I’ve searched and could not find an answer. Any  
thoughts from anyone else?
