/usr/local/lib/sbcl/ and everything under it is probably owned by
root.  Change .../site-systems/ and .../site/ to be owned by you, then
try again.  If you're paranoid, you can then change them back.

You didn't say which error you got but you probably need root
privileges to install in /usr/local/lib.

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Retry assertion.
