Here is what I've done to run clfswm under ubuntu 12.04 and 13.10:

sudo apt-get install git sbcl
git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/clfswm/clfswm.git
cd clfswm
make    (accept to load clx)
echo xterm > ~/.xsession
Control + Alt + F1 (switch to console)
startx -- :1
cd clfswm
./clfswm

For the sbcl in 12.04, you have to change the line 788 in src/tools.lisp
from  #+sbcl (sb-ext:exit) to   #+sbcl (sb-ext:quit)
you can also comment this line.

It works also with clisp (both in 13.10 and 12.04).

I haven't tried the tarball (I'll test now) but if it fails it'll be
time to make a new one.
