Which exact Creative Commons license? For example BY-NC-SA 2.0 or BY-ND 3.0?

The CC licenses are not recommended for software.

How exactly are you intending to use the LGPL-licensed code?

Are you copying and pasting it, statically linking, dynamically  
linking, or is the project a web application that is using the code?

> What are the license problems we are going to face here?

It depends on the CC license and on how you are using the LGPL-licensed code.
