The exact command I executed was;

$ source ${HOME}/context-installation-directory/tex/setuptex 
${HOME}/context-installation-directory/tex

The link to the installation guide; 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation---there was a typo on 
the previous link. I've attached the log aswell appending it to the 
message, forgive me, I'm pretty new to mailing lists.
