It's a long story :) I kept on running into a lot of problems, like:
ZCatalog::catalog_object was receiving too many arguments (it did not 
expecte update_metadata argument)
FolderMixIn has no attribute _setLastId
CMFDefault.PortalGenerator::setupDefaultProperties - wrong numer of 
arguments
In some places the object generator was returning object of a proper 
name, but from wrong package, which led to errors. In other cases it 
complained about a lack of methods from .zsql files in sql/erp5_mysql 
catalog, which were defined somewhere else.

And the last one, the one that defeated me, just when I managed to 
successfully add an ERP5 site and see its main screen, was that the 
createCategoryAccessors function seemed to create accessors for some of 
the objects, but not all, which resulted in the site throwing errors 
like 'attribute getWhatever not found' or 'attribute _setWhatever not 
found'.

I'm running Mandrake 10.0/10.1. My understanding of the problem is that 
I need a set of appropriate versions of all necessary products - I 
experimented with changing versions of CMF and ERP packages, but to no 
avail, only the set of errors was different. So, could you tell me 
exactly which ones to get? Or, if the problem is somewhere else, please 
advice.
