I am getting the following error just after installing:

Make sure the templates_c directory is writable by PHP. this usually involves using chmod to adjust the permissions to 777 or as unrestrictive as you can make it.

Or there is a variable in smart.class.php on about line 150 that'll tell Smarty nit to use sub subdirectories. Set that to false, I believe. Something like $use_sub_dirs.
