after installing it, 'which cc' should point to ccache automatically
rather than gcc, so you shouldn't have to do anything different than
your usual build process. After building once, ccache -s should
show some stats for the stuff in cache. A subsequent make should
result in the 'cache hit' number being higher.

I hate to be dense, but thats not what the yum install ccache seems to
have done:
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which cc`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 9 08:33 /usr/bin/cc -> gcc
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[root@coyote linux-2.6.19]# ls -l `which gcc`
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 197448 Oct 11 09:49 /usr/bin/gcc
I don't see any ccache mentions. :(
So I follow the manpage case 2 procedure I guess?
