Doesn't look right at all.

Does the file lisp/international/uni-bidi.el exist? is it non-empty?

If it does exist, do you have EMACSDATA or EMACSPATH variables set in
the environment?  Do you run Emacs from a shell or from inside another
Emacs session?

The backtrace indicates that something goes terribly wrong during
Emacs startup, and it doesn't find some of the files it needs for
that.

(And why are we still discussing this on help-gnu-emacs?)
