This seems like it should be do-able, but I'm having a difficult time constructing a view that will show a list of nodes that are within a certain distance / proximity of the location specified in a user profile.

I have the User Locations module enabled.

I'm creating a view of type Location.

I add the Distance/Proximity filter but I don't see a way to specify that the location to compare the content nodes against should be the User Location.

How else could I go about constructing this?

Issue tags: +Location proximity view, +location proximity view to author of node

check out some of the issues with the tag I added, they might be helpful.

side note: the "new" way using cck locations would probably be to use the content profile module and add a cck location to that...

I believe this is now possible with #606342: Views Argument Handler for Proximity. You'll want to select the new argument type, but use PHP code to set it the argument to whatever is stored in the user's profile.
