I hope you did not run whereis grep, ... man, ...emacs as one single command. Run
Code:
whereis man; whereis grep; whereis emacs

What puzzles me is that in your above listing there are NO commands starting with f, g, n, and o. This is a bit strange. Can you find commands like e.g. mount, mkdir, more on your system?

I ran them separately.

mount, mkdir are there but more is not.

You are missing multiple binary files in /usr/bin/. I would back up your user data and your fink installation. If you have compiled anything in /usr/local/ then backup /usr/local/. Run fsck_hfs like this for a live verification of the file system.
Code:
diskutil verifyVolume /

If the file system is clean then you will have re-install over your present installation.
