When you run ". setuptex <your_texroot_path>" you should end up with

TEXFORMATS='$TEXMFOS/web2c/{$engine,}'

If this is OK, then try "texexec --check" and "texexec --verbose test"
to see if you get some hints.

The kpsewhich utility is used to search the ls-R databases and can
also display the values of variables.  Unfortunately, the documentation
is probably not in the minimal configuration you have.  If you can
find another system with TeX, try "info kpsewhich".
