Last year I experimented with sugarize and stored the files required in 
a local repo:

copied from: http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/#sugxterm---

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/sugarize/
where I have a repo of the required files:

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/sugarize/libsugarize.so

Icons:

Look at
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/sugarize/wiki-sugarize.txt

which explains the processes and paths I found that seemed to work.
