If it's just for that directory, you could do a wc -l on those files like
Code:
root@sremhv27:/usr/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/sicher> wc -l *| tail -1| cut -d " " -f1
     916 httpd.conf
     209 ldap.prop.elan
     209 ldap.prop.papyrus
    1334 total

# ie. 

root@sremhv27:/usr/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/sicher> wc -l *| tail -1 |awk '{print $1}'
1334

If you want to have it including files in the subdiretories (which might be the reason you are using find), I would go and just fill an array with it like:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

typeset -i RESULT=0

set -A ARRAY "`find . -type f -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '{print $1}'`"

for ELE in ${ARRAY[*]}; do
        let RESULT=${RESULT}+${ELE}
done

echo "Result is: ${RESULT}"

This ksh, but if you are using another shell, you can just do ARR=`somecommandtomakealist`; for ELE in $ARR; do something; done
So no extra defining of an array with set -A has to be done. Just wanted to do it correct for ksh.

sum

sum(n)									sum								    sum(n)

NAME

       sum - calculate a sum(1) compatible checksum

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl 8.2

       package require sum ?1.0?

       ::crc::sum ?-format format? message

       ::crc::sum ?-format format? -filename file

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides	a Tcl-only implementation of the sum(1) command which calculates a 16 bit checksum value from the input data.  The
       BSD sum algorithm is used by default but the SysV algorithm is also available.

COMMANDS

       ::crc::sum ?-format format? message

       ::crc::sum ?-format format? -filename file
	      The command takes string data or a file name and returns a checksum value calculated using the sum(1) algorithm. The result is  for-
	      matted using the format(n) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.

OPTIONS

       -filename name
	      Return a checksum for the file contents instead of for parameter data.

       -format string
	      Return the checksum using an alternative format template.

EXAMPLES

       % crc::sum "Hello, World!"
       37287

       % crc::sum -format 0x%X "Hello, World!"
       0x91A7

       % crc::sum -file sum.tcl
       13392
