Well, it looks to me like your problem isn't the lack of cron. From your error message, it looks like you at least tried to install cron. If you hadn't the error you got about the PID would not have happened.
Did you try running cron as root?
sudo /etc/init.d/cron start
Is cron running already?
ps -ax (look for the cron process)
Did you have your crontab file set up? I used
export VISUAL=beaver
crontab -e
to setup the crontab and crontab -l to view it.
There was a discussion about cron here that might be of some help as well if it didn't load correctly for you. The example crontab there is also a neat way to make sure that cron is running correctly.
