Regardless of the error message you get, after you clear the cache, set the Settings "use_editor" to 1, and "which_editor" to TinyMCE, does it work?

First I checked the settings: which_editor is set to TinyMCE and use_editor is set to Yes. These seem to be the default settings as I did not change them before.
Then I cleared the cache and started the install process again. Unfortunately the installation freezed at the same position as before.
Right, after it freezes, when you load a page, does TinyMCE work? It may be freezing but still succeeding.

It did not come to my mind to check if TinyMCE had already been installed as it is marked as "not installed" in the Package Manager. But you were right, TinyMCE is in fact working!
It seems there is a bug in the installation process but at least I can use a rich text editor now.
Thanks for your help!
PS. I would like to ask another related question: Why do I need to manually add the above mentioned folders in order to be able to install add ons? I thought MODx would do this automatically.

Which install file did you use?
Could simply have not been transferred when you uploaded the file to the server.
If you sent the entire zip up then explode it locally on your computer and look for permission / ownership issues.
When I unzip locally I chown -R me:me
I unzipped the file locally and moved the MODx folder to /var/www of my local LAMP install (sudo mv ...). Then I followed the install wizard and only made those folders writable I was told to in the last install step.
That’s why I thought there was no need to make everything writable as with chown -R me:me, but maybe I missed something here.
