Without any more details as to what goes wrong it's hard to say.

However, ASDF-INSTALL as an installation mechanism leaves a lot to be
desired. (It's defects are too numerous to fit into this metaphorical
margin, and besides the point.)

You might have better luck using Quicklisp -- which is pretty much the
successor of CLX.

 wget http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
 sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
 # follow prompts, then new a new SBCL session
 (ql:quickload "clx")
