But this should not result in the error messages you get. But still I am a bit clueless. Your log files look ok to me. Let us try the following: In the directory of your test document say "texexec --alone --make metafun". This will generate a new metafun format and leaves it in the current directory. Make sure that the files are taken from the newly installed ConTeXt archive (this is very important; I think the error comes from taking wrong or old mp-spec.mp and other files).
