How did you install your TeX system?  I suppose you use tetex.  Then if you 
install a new version of pdftex, you have to make sure that all paths are 
set correctly -- I don't know wether other versions use the same 
configuration than tetex ...

Normally by installing tetex, the location of the texmf-tree is compiled in 
and so the programs can found the configuration (texmf.cnf) without setting 
any environment variable.  Make sure, that your new pdftex uses the same 
configuration by setting TEXMF or similar (look at the docs).

If you are not so familar with unix (for debugging purposes) I suggest you 
install a up to date version of tetex (the beta from 18.12.2000 works ok 
here and has a new enough pdftex
  pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14f-released-20000525 (Web2C 7.3.1)

So if you have no solution, examine your system and describe what you have 
done to install (te)tex, pdftex and context.

Yours
Uwe
