OK, I've found my mistake.  I had two directories with "lx86cl":
- one extracted from 
"ftp://ftp.clozure.com/pub/release/1.6/ccl-1.6-linuxx86.tar.gz", which 
has only the "compiler" and "contrib" subfolder, whilst is missing the 
"tools" subfolder;
- the other I got by SVN, which has everything.

Running lx86cl and requiring ASDF from latter directory works.  I 
apologize for the inconvenience, but the shell prompt not showing me the 
current directory confused me.

I've read the FAQ, but it seemed to me that this direction is about 
rebuilding CCL, not running it.

Thanks everyone for your attention.
