Agreed, the documentations is unclear. The expectation is that the user has 
already downloaded the package from sourceforge and is attempting an ASDF-
INSTALL from a local directory. To install from the CLiki (assuming that 
lispbuilder-sdl-gfx where on the CLiki (which it is not)) the command to use 
would be;

   (asdf-install:install :lispbuilder-sdl-gfx_7.1.tgz)

I'll update the documentation to state that the package must be retrieved prior 
to executing this command.

For linux you have to install the required SDL libraries yourself using RPM or 
DEB or whatever package management system your distro uses. This also seems to 
have gone missing from the documentation. I'll add this dependency as well.

A final note; you need to use lispbuilder-sdl from SVN. The official releases 
are very much out of date.
