Overwrite CompareController

Question

I try to override the Core CompareController. Somehow i don't get it done. I have done some research on the Magento website: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/0_-_module_development_in_magento/how_to_overload_a_controller

But it did not help override the controller.

local/WP/Compare/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <WP_Compare>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </WP_Compare>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <rewrite>
            <WP_Compare_Catalog_Product_Compare>
                <from><![CDATA[#^/catalog/product/compare/#]]></from>
                <to>/compare/catalog/product/compare/</to>
            </WP_Compare_Catalog_Product_Compare>
        </rewrite>
    </global>
</config>

local/WP/Catalog/controllers/Product/CompareController.php

<?php

require_once "Mage/Catalog/controllers/Product/CompareController.php";
class WP_Compare_Catalog_Product_CompareController extends Mage_Catalog_Product_CompareController
{

    public function addAction()
    {
        echo 'Lets GO!';
    }

}

?>

Can someone help me with this issue?

Thank you.
