That didn't work for some reason. Fmtutil failed on pdftex and pdfetex. Then I reinstalled TeXLive 2003, the only change being that I did not first wipe out the web2c directory. Now TeXlive seems to work. As you may have noticed, the TeXlive installation program doesn't wipe out an existing web2c. Just why retaining an old web2c directory helps things along I don't know.
Wipe out and set variables like the folowing (in a start up script), just to make sure that preinstalled tex's got lost:
TEXROOT=$1 export TEXROOT
TEXMFMAIN=$TEXROOT/texmf TEXMFLOCAL=$TEXROOT/texmf-local TEXMFFONTS=$TEXROOT/texmf-fonts TEXMFPROJECT=$TEXROOT/texmf-project TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux VARTEXMF=$TMP/texmf-var
export TEXMFMAIN export TEXMFLOCAL export TEXMFPROJECT export TEXMFFONTS export TEXMFOS export VARTEXMF
PATH=$TEXMFOS/bin:$PATH export PATH
HOMETEXMF=/nonexist export HOMETEXMF
TEXMFCNF=$TEXROOT/texmf{-local,}/web2c
TEXMF='{$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}'
TEXFORMATS=$TEXMFOS/web2c
TEXPOOL=$TEXFORMATS
MPPOOL=$TEXFORMATSexport TEXMFCNF export TEXMF export TEXFORMATS export TEXPOOL export MPPOOL
TEXINPUTS= MPINPUTS= MFINPUTS=
export TEXINPUTS export MPINPUTS export MFINPUTS
