Since installing the last ConTeXt update I am aware of the message
from texexec:
warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead
Good, I call:
"texmfstart texexec --version" instead of "texexec --version"
Result:
-bash: texmfstart: command not found
Is my system suddenly incomplete?
I am using Mac OS X 10.4.6, the most recent development I would think.
What happened and how can I get to the level of system support
ConTeXt seems to expect of me?

I've been away from ConTeXt for a while, so I don't have full knowledge
of the recent changes. But it seems that many of the original Perl
scripts are being replaced by Ruby scripts (of which texmfstart is one),
which are in a different directory.

Probably you just need either to put the Ruby script directory
($TEXMF/scripts/context/ruby) on your PATH, or create links from the
scripts you want to use to a directory in your current PATH. Maybe just
link texmfstart--it seems to be a front end for all the Ruby scripts.
Oh, and of course you have to have Ruby itself. I don't know where you
would get an OS X package, but the Ruby language Web site is:

P.S.: I just came across this manual:

Putting the ruby script in the right path and giving it executing
permissions solved most of the problem.
However there is a warning message left:
TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
metapost : test-mpgraph
format : metafun
This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2C 7.5.3)
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/web2c/natural.tcx)
total run time : 0 seconds
warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead
[MP to PDF]
(./test-mpgraph.1) (./test.tuo)
Since this message results from the internals of "texmfstart texexec"
it might be a leftover lonely "texexec" in the scripts. I tried to
find it, but could not find my way around the ruby scripts.
