It must be due to the problem you have with the PATH. Easiest way to check it is by typing echo $PATH and post the output in here. If it's empty or incomplete then just type the following command in the terminal
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
This must solve most of the issue but if it doesn't try to reinstall tar , make and wget.
