[CentOS] Problem with Lisp-in-box installation

Hello,
     I was reading the book Practical Common Lisp and wanted to use the same
setup to follow along.  Actually that might not be necessary as there are
other tutorials on Lisp, so I just need, Emacs, SLIME, which I guess this is
what provides the REPL, (it also had QuickLisp library manager - not sure
how that is used yet) and the Clozure Common Lisp compiler.  I tried a yum
on anything with lisp in the name and didn't find anything.  Perhaps I need
a new repo.
     Anyway, I downloaded the Linux version of Lisp-in-a-box from user
webadmin.  So, it put it in the webadmin/downloads directory. I just noticed
that the errors only show up if I run it from the bash shell.  It says that
some directories do not exist, specifically,
/tmp/lispbox-0.7/emacs-23.2/libexec/emacs/23.2/x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu 
So, maybe I either need a desktop, or I develop on a different system and if
I want to create web apps, I need to install lisp to run on the server.  
     Can anyone offer some advice, please?  I am wanting to install
WebProtege, which is a Semantic Web Ontology modeling application that runs
as a web app using Java.  And I want to run another Java based application
that runs not as a server app but a desktop app.  So, somehow I need to give
shell scripts or other apps the ability to create directories, such as tmp
directories that are needed.  Maybe that isn't an issue if you double click
on the icon.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice,
Bruce
