My (working) setup: TeXLive on MacOSX (full installation). This was 
installed following the instructions in 
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#install. (I only 
have a slow modem at home)
I tried to update context, with the same instructions.
1. I unzipped the new version in texmf (is this correct?) and 
texhashed, edited etc. Running texexec --pdf myfile gave the errors 
shown below (see copy of messages).
2. I removed context and put it in texmf-dist (the original context 
seemed to be there?). Same result (see messages).
3. I then tried to install the minimal version from the pragma site 
(macostex.zip). There are no instructions and I spent hours trying to 
figure out what to do. I then found the following in the archives:
-------------------
you can put the minimal context in for instance
    mkdir /mytex
  after that run
    . /mytex/setuptex /mytex
make sure that the file in /mytex/texmf-linux/bin path have the x flag 
set
    texexec --make --all
-----------------------
I tried that, assuming that Mac BSD is close enouth to Linux, but 
clearly this was written for somebody who knows much more than I do. I 
was told to provide a proper tex root (something/tex), and when I did 
(I think), I got a path containing //. Surely, it can't be that 
difficult to give step by step instructions to somebody with basic unix 
experience?!
Thanks for your help, Jörg
