(setq inferior-lisp-program clisp) ; for example if your lisp program
                                   ; is clisp

You should change the variable "inferior-lisp-program" to your
installation of a Common Lisp interpreter.  By default it's set to
"lisp" --- I had to change it to "clisp."

You might want to quote the value of `inferior-lisp-program':

    (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")

Alternatively, you can arrange for `lisp' to be a symlink to the proper
binary.  In my case, this is:

keramida@kobe:/usr/local/bin> ls -l lisp
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 4 Jun  4 23:39 lisp -> sbcl
keramida@kobe:/usr/local/bin>

No prob: the best way to find these things is with apropos, either
"M-x apropos RET regex" or bind it to a key.  I have it bound to f3.
You can search by regular expression or a word list (e.g. "inferior
lisp program").  This will give you a list of potential items, and
each one gives you the variable/function's documentation, and then
tells you if you can customize it.  I used to think of only using
Customize to set variables, because I didn't know how to find them;
apropos is the way.
