smarty template compile directory not writable

Question

hello all, i'm using the latest version of smarty (3.0rc3). i made my templates_c directory writable in command line (chmod -R 777 templates_c) but smarty still outputs this when i call $smart->utility->testInstall();

Testing compile directory...
FAILED: ./php/classes/smarty/templates_c/ is not writable.
Warning: rename(/tmp/wrtub1GxS,./php/classes/smarty/templates_c

and this when i use smarty

/73e0ecf25f1c14182b8af5906bb8e9afa33b2b07.file.main.html.php): 
Permission denied in /var/www/html/dev/dynamic/php/classes/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 41 
Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory 
in /var/www/html/dev/dynamic/php/classes/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php
