I don't like posting garbagge on the mailing list, but here it is:

This is my complete cont-sys.tex:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\unprotect
\setupoutput [pdf]
\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue
\useMETAFUNformattrue
\newprettytrue
\protectbufferstrue
\protect \endinput
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This is my file:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\startMPpage
draw textext.origin("x");
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

And these are the logs:

[probably with something worht pointing out]

system(texexec --batch --output=dvips --mpformat=metafun --mptex --nomp 
--once
