Just did this.

Ok, I got it working, though I'm not sure exactly what did it. Here is some 
more strange behavior:

If I'm in root and do texexec, everything works fine.
If I'm in my user account and do texexec, everything works fine.

If I su to my home directory from root (or su to root from my home dir), then  
texexec gives the error

> texexec
`texexec.pl' not found.

If from here I su back to my home dir (or to root), the error remains. 
Starting a new console works if I don't su anywhere.

I have installed the following in /etc/profile.d/texsetup.sh (based on advice 
from David Kastrup):

case ":$PATH:" in *:/usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux:*) ;;
  *) PATH="/usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux:$PATH"
esac

What am I doing wrong?

Best wishes
Idris
