It appears that your locally-built versions of vim and grep are for a
different system. What is the output of:

file /usr/local/bin/vim
file /usr/local/bin/grep

If the output suggests that these programs aren't built for your system,
you'll need to set your PATH environment variable not to include
/usr/local/bin (or umount /usr/local/bin from wherever it's mounted).
