Can't locate TeXLive/TLConfig.pm As surmised, you're missing tons of stuff. Without knowing how you installed it, no way to guess what went wrong. You might be able to recover with "update-tlmgr-latest.sh". See the "disaster recovery" section in: http://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html Or you migh

That's strange, unless this file is dynamically generated, It isn't. I could not find it or any reference to it in the texlive-source-20160605 distribution. The "source" tarball for TL does not include the runtime files (hundreds of megabytes of stuff), only the compilable sources.

Can't locate mktexlsr.pl mktexlsr.pl is (should be) in texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/mktexlsr.pl, which seems to be in your @INC. I can't explain it. Maybe your installation failed partway through. You can run mktexfmt pdfetex.fmt (or whatever) on its own to test. I can't find the format
