Well, those might really not fix the problem with lang/clisp. I tried to
reproduce it but clisp build and installed just fine here as unprivileged user.

How do you know what asks for the root password? Such prompts are just
bad design and both Mac OS X as well as Vista show it. There's no reason
to install anything as root except rare software which needs special
permissions/ownership which clearly shouldn't be the case for clisp.
