You ran into the "Common Lisp package management is a mess" wall, but
don't despair, it is not that hard.

asdf is the predominant system building facility, make-alike if you
will.  asdf-install is just an add-on, but it is not used by many open
source developers and thus not well supported.

Have a look at http://common-lisp.net/~mmommer/asdf-howto.shtml - In
the end, it explains how you point asdf at your system definition
files.
