Please read the unix/INSTALL file in the distribution; this is not a
standard build system.

After that, you may wish to configure ASDF (http://www.cliki.net/asdf)
to load into CLISP at start time; know that forms in ~/.clisprc are
evaluated as such, and further instructions can be found in asdf's
source tree.

Then, you will probably want SLIME (http://www.cliki.net/SLIME).
Again, decent setup documentation to get Emacs working with SLIME is
included; the only CLISP-specific thing to do is

  (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")

in your ~/.emacs startup file or other suitable place.

At last, if you don't already have a good tutorial on CL, please see
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ .
