You probably didn't install the HC files too - there's a pointer from the
download page.
BTW, it's much simpler (and quicker) to install one of the binary
distributions/packages rather than bootstrapping up from .hc files. If you
really want to go this way, though, there's a script called hc-build in
fptools/distrib that should be of some help.
