Hi,  
do you build on Mac? the UserProfile is where your home directory.

you might try, before compile  
USERPROFILE=[your home dir]  
export USERPROFILE

Hope this help,

Technically, that can be set automatically with:  
ENV[‘USERPROFILE’] ||= ENV[‘HOME’] (from ruby) or  
USERPROFILE = $HOME (from shell)

It should be fixed next time we do a push. I’ve changed the Rakefile and  
context.rb to rely on ENV[‘HOME’] and set ENV[‘HOME’] ||=  
ENV[‘USERPROFILE’] at the beginning of each of those files.
