Probably you shouldn't.
Install emacs-snapshot, slime and Lisp of choice and you're there. All
the applications are available through standart repositories.

run a package manager (synaptic, adept, aptitude or whatever) and install 
packages from there.
set you probably need: sbcl, emacs, slime.
(if you were using Windows before, you can try xemacs instead of emacs -- it 
has more sane keybindings by default)

when these three are installed, just launch emacs and try to run slime (M-x 
slime).
maybe it requries few lines of configuration addtionionally, but that's 
quite easy.

you can try this way too, but Ubuntu already has packages with lisp 
implementations and libraries, and it might be better to use them than a 
lispbox.
