at the bash go:

whereis wget

change /usr/bin/wget to wherever wget is and post the result of:

ls -l  /usr/bin/wget  

it may be that the permissions have accidentally been changed

[root@localhost /]# whereis wget
wget: /usr/bin/wget /usr/share/man/man1/wget.1.gz
[root@localhost /]# ls -l /usr/bin/wget
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 200392 Oct 17 05:24 /usr/bin/wget


hope that helps
