--- Comment #10 from Tony Mach <[email protected]> ---
Ok, VisualEditor is now running on my system!

And I found the problem:

If you download the VisualEditor via the web-interface at
http://git.wikimedia.org/branches/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FVisualEditor.git
then you will *NOT* get any submodules, like e.g. lib/ve/. 

The problem is, that web-interface for git at git.wikimedia.org can not handle
git submodules. If you download an archive of VisualEditor (e.g. REL1_23) then
lib/ve will be missing. If you try to access a submodule like lib/ve, then the
web-interface will give you an error message.

If you download VisualEditor via
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/VisualEditor then
everything is fine.

If you manually download VisualEditor via git commandline, and do a "git
submodule update --init" afterwards, then everything is fine.

What is really annoying was the lack or error-messages.
