[tex-live] Problem with sample files

Warning noob to latex here :)
I download the DVD of TexLive 2007 and installed in on disk. Using Linux
btw.
Everything was working ok (it seemed so), and I could execute the sample
file "sample2e.tex".

When running the sample "story.tex" got some issues, and some more with
other files like "small2e.tex". I've posted the content of the output file
story.log, after doing $pdflatex story.tex. Am I missing any configuration
step?

I've eliminated some parts of the file that I thought to be redundant.
Thanks

story.log:

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
