Kernel headers needed to build compcache are missing on your system. On Fedora 
these
are provided by kernel-devel and kernel-headers package. Not sure about names 
for
equivalent packages on Ubuntu - I think its linux-headers.

Looks like your version of Ubuntu comes with compcache built into the kernel by
default.  Not sure which version of compcache they included.

Since your kernel has compcache 'built-in' (as opposed to compiled as separate
module), I don't think you can override it with any other version of compcache. 
You
will have to stay with version included in your kernel.

Ok, since compcache is "built in" is there a way to configure it?
How can I change the size of the ramzswap or enable/disable it?
Where can I find the commands to do such operations?

Thanks very much for the quick and accurate support

sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf

comment out the compcache section.

optionally change update_initramfs=yes to update_initramfs=all in
/etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf to have it apply to every kernel and 
not
just the currently running one.

sudo update-initramfs -u

that should do it. if not, you are starting it with a script in /etc/init.d/ so 
just
delete that and do a sudo update-rc.d compcache remove.
