probably because those programs aren't installed, or aren't in your PATH. the
strings executable is part of binutils IIRC, so perhaps check to see if you
have that rpm installed (e.g. rpm -q binutils)... MDK may not have installed
that package (along with others) if you didn't select any of the development
packages or the console tools packages, since the programs in binutils are
primarily used for development.
