How did you reinstall texlive? Through the Ubuntu packages, or directly?

If directly, you probably just need to add the binary directories to your PATH. Info here. In other words, add this line to your the .profile file in your home directory, and then log out and back in:

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

(That's for 32 bit systems; for a 64 bit system, it's slightly different, but you can figure it out.)

If the Ubuntu packages, I'd purge them and try again.
