Answer 1

I had a similar issue when I was setting it up a while ago. I gave up on the gem eventually. The problem was getting ckeditor to behave in the asset pipeline, but I had mixed results depending on the browser (of course IE was the problem). Here is what worked for me:

Download ckeditor package from their site and drop in to public/ckeditor.

Then, directly include the javascript files.

<%= javascript_include_tag "/ckeditor/ckeditor" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "/ckeditor/adapters/jquery" %>

Not exactly elegant, but it worked and haven't had to touch it since.
