Where do these programs in /usr/local come from? They are not
from Fedora Core 2, but compiled in 1997. Did you mounted any
network folder on /usr/local? /usr/local/bin is in the standard
search PATH for executables before /usr/bin, so when you've got
non-working non-FC2 executables in /usr/local, all that will
fail. Delete them, unmount /usr/local, undo whatever you did to put
them there.
