No, I can use a mainstream distribution. But sabotage is the one I prefer.
And I had no problem I can't deal before.

I was doing this before, I did it with a normal user, and the same error.

This is something I suspect, I will try with bash.

With path here I mean the enviroment variable PATH of the binaries. I suspected
the problem was that texlive was trying to execute a file from the new 
installation.

~/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux $ ls -l ./tex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 henrique wheel       374416 Apr 28  2014 ./tex

~/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux $ ldd tex
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f68b3682000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f68b3682000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f68b3682000)
                        
So now you talked about a interesting thing. You made me see that the tex binaries are
dynamic linked. Here, I don't have glibc, I use musl (the other libraries are normal).
So would this be the problem?
