     located. By default this is
     <filename class="directory">"./templates_c"</filename>
     , meaning that it
     will look for the compile directory in the same directory as
     the executing php script. <emphasis role="bold">This directory must
     be writeable by the web server</emphasis>
     (<link linkend="installing.smarty.basic">see install</link>).
