Thanks, Thomas.
I have moved HOMETEXMF to ~/temf and have set HOMETEXMF = ~/texmf in my configuration file (in ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/).
When I first set this up with Mocja, I (we?) had HOMETEXMF = ~/Library/texmf.
Hello, I don't remember changing anything in this respect - HOMETEXMF has been unchanged from original Hans' distribution. One real problem is how to set this properly to account for different platforms (like ~/Library/texmf in the case of Mac). I agree that this needs to be changed and improved, I just need some idea how to configure everything properly, so that Mac specifics will be taken care of, and how to make this compatible with Hans' idea of "I don't want any other files to interfere". There could be two "setuptex"s for example, but the main thing needs to be changed inside texmf.cnf. I think that adding texmf.cnf to texmf-local and configuring the settings there should work, but I didn't try. In short: I know that this has been a problem, I'm just seeking proposals. Mojca
