I built lesstiff ok.
on running make install I get an error.
I used the --prefix and --exec-prefix to specify
writeable areas on the hard disk.
Yet install still tries to write to
/usr/share/ which is not writeable for me.

After running configure, you can apply the attached
patch to work around the problem.  Then run make
install.   To apply the patch

1) Save the attached patch to a file.
2) Change directories to scripts/autoconf within
   the lesstif source tree.
3) Run the following where you should replace path_to_patch
   with the path to file saved in step (1).

       patch < path_to_patch/lesstif-0.94.4.aclocal_install_patch
