ehh..........sorry all !
Well, the problem with "Undefined Catalog: /cgi-bin/foundation" was due to 
permission problems. When running makecat I specified server running as 
"interch", store owned by user "tomas" and group was "interch".
When I added "interch" as primary group for user "tomas" instead off 
supplementary, things went better.
No more complaints about missing MailOrderTo directive
However, when running /usr/sbin/interchange --serve as user "interch" it 
complained about Perl modules
"Safe::Hole"
"SQL:Statement"
"LWP::Simple"
was missing. After digging around the mail archive I found a nifty command 
which checked and updated ALOT of Perl stuff:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Interchange'


This installed all needed modules (among others) and I could login to the 
admin area.
Wicked......
Thanks for all your efforts trying to help  (probably more to come along 
the way)
cheers - Tomas
