This was tested with SLES11-SP1@x86_64 (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server), the EOL is expected to be around 2018 (included 2 years extended support). I've mentioned openSUSE as it's quite the same, but this procedure is for SLES11 explicitly.
The needed additional repo is a official repo from opensuse.org for SLES, as new versions appear, the packages are rebuilt for it.

Unofficial install guides on the Wiki have generated a significant number of questions for us.
Can you guarantee this will work on later versions? What versions does it work on?
This is one of the reasons for wiki editing being disabled. In 3 months time this document will be worthless.

## # Performance Tunning ##
# Install XCache, build package from src.rpm (install required dependencies for compilation if needed)

That's all, this should work on openSUSE also, just make sure to use repositories for the correct version of distribution.
