Class 'Smarty' not found when using View::bind_global

With this simple code:

public function before ()
{
    parent::before();
    $v = 'test';
    View::bind_global('V', $v);
}

I got the following error in Kohana 3.2:

2011-08-10 07:54:45 --- ERROR: ErrorException [ 1 ]: Class 'Smarty' not found ~ MODPATH/smarty/classes/view.php [ 45 ]

--

#1 {main

With the following output:


MODPATH/smarty/classes/view.php [ 45 ]

46   Smarty::$global_tpl_vars[$key]->value = &$value;

Using _View::setglobal seems to work well. I notice that _View::bingglobal want to use a _Smartyvariable object; maybe this class is not loaded ?
