Include doesn’t work, getting strange path: (/usr/local/php53/lib/php) – Whats wrong? (WPAlchemy)

When I’ve used WPAlchemy, the instructions have me put the WPAlchemy directory directly into the wp-content folder – not the theme folder. It looks like your include code points to your theme directory. All the other stuff in the path is specific to your host, and probably not part of the problem.
