This is a system administrative issue and not a subversion issue.
I'm not familiar with HP-UX, so I can't help you with administrative
issues though (i.e. appending library paths, et. al).

[Off Topic]
However, that said, there's little point in trying to install
anything if you don't have root access to the directories required;
but you do have access to your local home directory, no? Why not
install everything (provided you have the available quota/disk space)
under your home directory? Then you just need to add those libraries
to your library path and add the binaries to your binary path. That
should theoretically work; but, practically speaking, I don't know
if it is 'feasible' (in terms of whether your permitted in doing
this.)
