The time or two I've seen something similar it was caused by premission
or ownership problems.  Try a couple of the following:

1) Check the PATH variable (printenv PATH) an make sure you can see the
programs at all.  It may be possible that the directory in which they
are installed is not in your path vairiable but is in for the default
root path.

2) check the permissions (ls -l) of the executables.  If you see
something like:

 -rwx------ root     root ...

that means that only root can execut it...

My guess is that the problem is #1 the paths point to the wrong place...
