But before you do I would suggest building ncurses first. You can find the sources on a number of different mirrors, the one that I use is www.cdrom.com/pub/gnu. In building less-332 I found that I had to comment out the iprintf() function in output.c and I had to change the regular expression library used to NO_REGEX in the defines.h file that will get built when you do the configure. I can't give you specific line numbers but you can do searches for the needed areas.
