Did you use the zip or tar source.

TYPO3 4.0 hasn't all the internal symlinks. The only reason for using symlinks 
is when you install the source outside the webroot to serve more than one 
installation. Thats make also the procedure in the wiki obsolete (not everything).

My advice. Install the source and dummy package in the same folder (webroot), 
and test it. If you want to symlink the source the only symlinks you need 
is typo3 in source to typo3 in webroot and t3lib in source to t3lib in webroot. 
Maybe also index.php i webroot, but if you use the zip version of dummy it 
shouldn't be necessary.

WBR,
