To save yourself a few steps in the future, consider using the program
'wget' on the server to download the source code directly to the server.
Usage is like:

wget URL_HERE

That's a good choice.

I have a version of the source from 1999 on a RaQ2.  I just extracted it
using:

tar xfvz wwwcount2.5.tar.gz

In the unpacked code there's a file called 'configure' that you can use to
install it.

./configure --help for options.  Unless you change the location it installs
to by default you'll definitely have to be 'root' to install it.  Hopefully
that will get you started.  If I recall correctly it's an easy install if
you follow the directions, though it's probably a year and a half since I
installed it anywhere.
