(Tests with yanking something were not mentioned…) What you described is exactly what happens when Delete Selection mode is not enabled. So it's all OK until here. That the variable and function delete-selection-mode are unknown means that delsel.el is not loaded or dumped from temacs into emacs at Emacs build time. The Elisp file can be here:
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/delsel.el.gz
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/delsel.elc
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/delsel.el.gz
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/delsel.elc
Does it exist? IMO this, that it exists but is not loaded, can only mean that you have some "unconventional" Emacs. In case delsel.el exists in your system, you can try to load it with
(require 'delsel)
because the Elisp file has at its end
(provide 'delsel)
Then the variable and function delete-selection-mode should be known… and working!
