I got mine from building the source directly. 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.
Good Luck,
