Hi,
Following MWE produces the error given below. I have been able to include
other tikz libraries (arrows, decorations) successfully.

This example works here with current version: 2013.01.24 16:47.

Just upgraded context installation( to 2013.01.24 16:47),
corrected my MWE and I am still getting exactly the same error.
I followed the guidelines from the wiki for upgrading:
rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
./first-setup.sh --modules=all
Is there any way of checking if my installation is correct?
Regards,
Devendra
PS: Why didn't context throw an error when I made a mistake of
using braces instead of brackets? In fact, I generated a flow
chart in tikz using the arrows library like that. Everything worked
fine.

You're right, it fails here, too. The message got lost in between
all the tikz log output. On my machine I get:
Package tikz: Error! I did not find the tikz library 'external'. I looked for files named tikzlibraryexternal.code.tex and pgflibraryexternal.code.tex, but neither could be found in the current texmf trees..
And tikz is right with that. There is no such file in the
distribution. Either the name of this module changed or the file is
missing in the distribution, I guess.
The pgfplots module ships with a file called
/pgfplots/oldpgfcompatib/pgfplotsoldpgfsupp_tikzlibraryexternal.code.tex
this seems to be the file in question. However, the name
“oldpgfcompatib” insinuates that this module might be deprecated.
Maybe Mojca knows more details about this issue.

From the pgf manaul:
32.3 A Word About ConTEXt And Plain TEX
Currently, the basic layer backend \beginpgfgraphicnamed ...
\endpgfgraphicnamed relies on LATEX only, so externalization is only
supported for LATEX yet.
Perhaps you can use the filter module for externalizing tikz figures.

You need to use [brackets] instead of {braces}. See the manual, for
example section 3.2 (Setting up the environment).
\usemodule[tikz]
\usetikzlibrary[arrows]
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
\draw[stealth-] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
