Apparently the plugin script really doesn't like that our SVN server
uses HTTPS. The recommended ways of installing paperclip are to do one
of the following:
cd /RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins
svn export https://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/paperclip/tags/rel_X-x-x
paperclip
(where X-x-x is the version number you want)
or
cd /RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins
piston init https://svn.thoughtbot.com/plugins/paperclip/trunk paperclip
If you download it yourself you really should put it in the plugins
directory, as that's where Rails expects it to go. The plugin loader
does more than just add the load paths. It also requires the init.rb
of each plugin (and probably other things that I'm forgetting at the
moment), so it's best to let that handle it automatically.
Let me know if that helped your problem.
