Serious Problem

Hi All,
I'm having to send this from Windows hell, but I can't do anything in
my Linux environment.
I can log in, but every time I issue a command, I get told that it's
not found. For instance, when I ran startx, it couldn't find the
command. When I ran ls, it couldn't find the command. I even tried
entering a path to the command, like /usr/bin/ls and /bin/ls, but to
no avail.
Yesterday, I did a couple of things on the computer and don't know if
that had anything to do with my problem.
First, I wanted to install my krecipes program which I retrieved via
svn. When I tried to do that, I got told that for the present kde
used unsermake instead of the gnu make utility. So, I installed
unsermake and then did the "export PATH" thing to be able to use
unsermake from where it was insalled. No perceivable problems after
doing this.
Then, I did a yum update which installed a number of new KDE packages
from the updates-released repository.
Today, I added a program which I installed via tarball and edited my
.bash profile to make the permanent addition to my path. Then, I
rebooted and now, no commands will work.
Any ideas what is going on here and what I have to do to fix it?
Regards,
Colleen
