Hi,

\starttext
% \systemcommandmode % (doesn't work here, i.e. strange ^ char with
texexec and not defined by mkiv)
\startMPcode
draw fullcircle scaled 3cm;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext % (missing in your code snippet)

Tested on the following ConTeXt minimals version on an up-to-date debian
(amd64 unstable/experimental hybrid).
MTXrun | main context file:
/usr/local/ConTeXt_version_2010.11.26/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2010.11.26 22:49

Simplest test:
− Reported OK with "context test"
− Reported OK with "texexec test"

My experience is that it is best to use minimals, so maybe it can help
if you give it a try… That's trivial with ./first-setup.sh (I usually
suffix the dir name and use a plain ConTeXt symbolic link… just in case
to recover a previous version if the new one… um… doesn't work).

Best regards,

Renaud
