[NTG-context] How to run context under mac os x - was(is): beginner's hazzles with backgrounds and definitions.

Hello again, this is presumably only for the the Mac people on the list. Below is what I tried to update Gerden's i-installed teTex with the most recent context: (I remove all directories that occur in the context distribution, and then copy them. There is most likely a one liner for all of this in some shell, but my unix knowledge is from days when nobody new how to spell copyright) (everything w/ sudo) rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/doc/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc rm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/config/context.map cp /cont-tmf\ Folder/dvips/config/context.map /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/config rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/tfm/hoekwater/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/fonts/tfm/hoekwater/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/tfm/hoekwater rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/hoekwater/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/fonts/type1/hoekwater/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/hoekwater rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/metapost/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/metapost/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/metapost rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/pdftex/config/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/pdftex/config/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/pdftex/config rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/tex/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/generic/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/tex/generic/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/generic rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/context cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/tex/latex/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex mktexlsr texexec --make --alone (Thanks to Hans once more for pointing out politely that I had no clue that the last two lines are important). They produce reasonable output that makes me believe that they are working with the TeX installation I updated and not the other one (fink). It would be nice to know how to modify that one, too, but before I will try that: It still doesn't work. I get the same error message as before (see below), indicating that I have messed up the TeX installation. Is it maybe necessary to tell either of the last two commands where the files are it should update?
