I would follow the README for the rails-ckeditor plugin you mentioned. If you don't need the SWFUpload, you can simply integrate the CKEditor and Paperclip, by writing a custom file uploader and custom file browser, and connect them to the editor by specifying urls and callback functions.

It is always useful to have an example, the author has made an example app. Unfortunately, there are a few errors in it. Consider the following points to make it running

1. change the following lines in config/environment.rb

   config.gem 'paperclip', :version => '2.3.3'

   config.gem 'ckeditor', :version => '3.4.1'

2. delete the file index.html in public

3. add a root route to config/routes.rb

   map.root :controller => "pages"
