It's actually not an HP site, it's an HP users ported source site:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Users/lc-1.26/

I didn't keep notes when I built it, but it's build process uses Imake  
(Which brought back nightmares from my days in the Windows group at  
Sun.) so you'll need to have X installed. Then you'll need to get rid  
of the HPUX define. I also spent some time bringing it into the 21st  
century by removing a whole bunch of ifdef's in favor of assuming  
things like ANSI C, POSIX, and Single UNIX Spec V3. There's a bunch  
more code that could be removed if the author had bothered to document  
things a little better.

In other words you'll need to know at least a little about C and UNIX  
to get it to work.
