i've never used the lispbox package so i might be going about this
wrong, but did you consider after, say the 2 first tries, that
asdf-install - as a package itself - does not exist or has not been
loaded? i mean, for SBCL:
* (not-existing-package:some-function 1234 4321)
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {A8E9759}>:
SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR on #<SYNONYM-STREAM :SYMBOL SB-SYS:*STDIN* {9116EE1}>:
package "NOT-EXISTING-PACKAGE" not found
* (find-package :asdf-install)
NIL
..and for CLISP:
1]> (not-existing-package:some-function 1234 4321)
*** - READ from #<INPUT CONCATENATED-STREAM #<INPUT STRING-INPUT-STREAM> #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM>>: there is no package with name "NOT-EXISTING-PACKAGE"
The following restarts are available:
ABORT :R1 Abort main loop
Break 1 [2]> :r1
[1]> (find-package :asdf-install)
NIL
..and because of this, you start digging:
http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/tutorial/setup.html
ok, so ASDF-INSTALL is included with SBCL, we just got to load it:
* (require :asdf-install)
...
...
* (find-package :asdf-install)
#<PACKAGE "ASDF-INSTALL">
..for CLISP, assuming ASDF is installed and loaded ofc.:
1]> (asdf:operate 'asdf:compile-op :asdf-install)
...
2]> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :asdf-install)
...
3]> (find-package :asdf-install)
#<PACKAGE "ASDF-INSTALL">

I used SBCL to verify asdf-install n all tried ok
I didn't read carefully asdf tutorial.
Lispbox doesn't load the asdf-install.
Next time i will read better error messages...
