and the new context package from www.tug.org/texlive/Debian version 2006.08.08 the following text file processes without error but has no graphic

Strange enough, on my computer I don't see this problem. The file contains the graphics.

johans@smoke:~$ locate metafun.mem /etc/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem /var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem

Maybe some other files in /etc/texmf/web2c are interfering. metapost pool files would be an idea. Can you send me the list of files in /etc/texmf/web2c?

I have thee ONLY mktex.cnf!!!

There were several other files, among them a highly suspicious plain.mem. However, removing all of them, and reinstalling the context debian package (and thereby rebuilding the formats) did not solve the problem. No new files ended up in /etc/texmf/web2c.
