Do you have an example of the code where the library is being called? The "Directory does not exist" issue to me indicates that the path to that library might not be correct.

I can't say I'm too familiar with using Smarty and Slim together but I was able to find someone who set up something similar so maybe looking at their source can help some?

$app = new \Slim\Slim(array( 'view' => new \Slim\Views\Twig() //use Twig not Smarty :: Be Careful ));

I used 'view' => new \Slim\Views\Smarty() in place of Twig and interpreter searches for Smarty but not Twig...
