Unfortunately, lxr.linux.no appears to be down at the moment. A site that provides lxr output on the web is: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ But it is best to build the html locally; it responds faster, uses less of your bandwidth, and (most importantly) doesn't use up bandwidth from the above site. To install on debian/ubuntu: sudo apt-get install lxr This installs both lxr and apache httpd. You then need to configure apache httpd to point to the lxr scripts. Install documentation isn't easy to find; unzip /usr/share/doc/lxr/README.Debian.gz to find out how to configure the rest. I presume if you're not on a debian-derived system that something similar will work. Note that there appears to be a fork/continuation on sourceforge by one of the original two authors: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxr I don't know if that version is better or not, but it certainly is newer; the original lxr hasn't been changed in years. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.
