Solution number 2 worked. After this I removed all TeX-related program/packages, and could install TeTex without problems. Again I removed this, and tried TeXLive, but got the same problem again. There must be a bug in TeXLive - package. Or I have messed more things on my system :-) So I went through the steps in #2-solution and have now a working TeTeX installation.
