Comment:

 A new version - compcache-0.4 - has been released and seems to work fine.

 If anyone is interested in trying this out, this part of my post-olpc-
 update script might be useful:

 {{{
 yum -y install make autotools gcc patch

 if ! `grep -q compcache /etc/rc.local` ; then
     cd /home/olpc/src
     wget http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/{stable,testing}/kernel-
 devel-`uname -r`.i586.rpm
     rpm -ivh kernel-devel-`uname -r`.i586.rpm
     cp -af /boot/* /versions/boot/current/boot/
     wget http://compcache.googlecode.com/files/compcache-0.4.tar.gz
     tar xzf compcache-0.4.tar.gz
     cd compcache-0.4
     make
     ./use_compcache.sh
     echo "(cd /home/olpc/src/compcache-0.4 ; ./use_compcache.sh)" >>
 /etc/rc.local
 fi
 }}}
