Thanks for the replies!

I did nto realize you can install a plugin by just putting in the
vendor directory. that makes it pretty easy. just for future ref why
does not the following command find the plugin:
ruby script/plugin install c:/directory/sub_d/acts_as_ferret

I guess my original prob is that i do not have svn available from the
command line. i have SVN from tortoise for windows that comes with the
nice ui but i guess not command line svn. any recs for one?

Miles I tired your gem and got the below:

C:\ror\rails_apps\project>ext install 
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/t
ags/stable/acts_as_ferret
