plugin fails

When we re activate the wp supercache plugin and then try to go to the settings screen we get the following dump to the screen

Note the last line of the dump

Error: Your cache directory () did not exist and couldn’t be created by the web server. Check permissions.

Is there something that we have to do to allow the creation of the cache directory?
