I solved the above issue by setting the `erc-port' to the
SSL/TLS customary 6697, and now it works - so the whole thing
probably wasn't related to the installation, it just looked
that way.

  (setq erc-port 6697)

With these commands there is no trouble whatsoever getting and
installing Emacs, just like last time - I just had to change
the commands a bit :)
