Folders set up correctly sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/(both ajax and js folders are here)
Latest Dev Release of Timeline (Feb 2010)
simile_timeline folder set to chmod 777

When I got to the timeline configuration page, under "Location of Simile Timeline libraries:" the dropbox only shows Simile Server.

Any ideas?

Make sure you install the Libraries module.

Had this issue as well. Turns out in line 159 of the timeline.module file the function "file_check_directory" is called which according to the documentation "Check that the directory exists and is writable. Directories need to have execute permissions to be considered a directory by FTP servers, etc."

This function is supposed to be used to check the files directory, not any directory. A quick workaround is to make the sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline globally writable like you would with the files directory.

The longterm fix is to use " if (is_dir($timeline_path)) {" instead of "if (file_check_directory($timeline_path)) {" on line 159 of timeline.module.

Also want to make sure you have the libraries (http://drupal.org/project/libraries) module installed.

Thanks @randallknutson. The Fix worked!
I initially installed the Libraries module but that didn't help. So i went on to try the line 159 fix, and voala... it works.

Thanks again.
