The process failed at this point: "curl: (7) Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Bad file descriptor”

Yes, that is not surprising.  The darwinx86.tar.gz does not exist because you failed to retrieve it in the previous step.  So that’s what you need to debug.  You can check if you have successfully retrieved the file using ls.

Now, it is not immediately obvious why that step failed, only that it failed.  The command you have there works for me.  So the first thing I would do is simply try it again.  It might have been a temporary problem at github.

But I can see another problem that you would have had even if this step had worked.  You are retrieving darwinx86.tar.gz into the current directory (i.e. into lisp_ccl) but trying to unpack it in the parent directory (the double-dot).  That probably won’t work.  You probably want just:

tar xzf darwinx86.tar.gz

(Throwing the z flag in to tell tar that the file is compressed shouldn’t be necessary, but it can’t hurt.)
