  Andrey,

The executables are in the teTeX/bin directory versus the
/usr/teTeX/texmf/tex structure you describe above. You are using the
texmf directory where the macro (.tex,.sty,.cls, etc.) files are stored.

I don't know what teTeX/bin corresponds to on your installation and
perhaps the installer even put the files in /usr/local/bin. Try searching
for the kpsewhich command by cd ing to the top of a tree to search and: 

find . -name kpsewhich

teTeX is so large, that I usually give it a directory all its own: 
/usr/local/teTeX or /usr/teTeX or /opt/teTeX and set the PATH and MANPATH
acccordingly. It makes it much easier to swap out the entire tree
including all executables, man pages, etc.

The docs in my testflow LaTeX diagnostic have a lot of info on
configuring LaTeX systems:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/testflow/

You can use the test pages to test the configuration of your system.
I know it is a long read, but there is some good stuff in there. ;)
