texconfig is a shell script.  It seems that one of the programs it
tries to run fails on your OS because of some terminal related
problem.  Try running the script with -x to see where it fails:

TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/share/texmf \
PATH=/usr/local/bin/i586-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/bin/i586-pc-linux-gnu:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
 \
sh -x /usr/local/bin/i586-pc-linux-gnu/texconfig init

That might provide a clue.

(I am assuming that the TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/share/texmf bit was part
of the command.  There seems to be a missing backslash, but maybe that
was your mail program wrapping the line.)
