Problems with smarty 2.6.0RC1 and cached paths..

This only seems to happen on my windows machine.. I am using a conf file and i have my setup done like this. (I have smarty subclassed) $this->template_dir = $root_path . 'templates/'; $this->compile_dir = $root_path . 'templates_c/'; $this->config_dir = SMARTY_DIR . 'config/'; $this->cache_dir = $root_path . 'cache/'; where $root_path is defined in my index.php such as $root_path = realpath("./") . "/"; when i go to the page i don't get an error.. But when i return.. Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "colors.conf" in c:\site\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1156 I looked into the compiled cache in the templates_c and was wondering if this was causing the problem.. ? i get a link that looks like this.. 'c:\site/templates_c//c:\site/include/smarty/config/\colors.conf/' => 'c:\\site/templates_c/\\%%101\\%%1012124755\\%5Ccolors.conf',
