Julian, is the luametatex file in that directory executable? both context and mtxrun are links to it: lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 10 context -> luametatex -rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 1315 context.lua -rwxr-xr-x 1 xxx xxx 2957368 luametatex -rwxr-xr-x 1 xxx xxx 7150016 luatex lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 10 mtxrun -> luametatex -rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 689635 mtxrun.lua all the best!

Then something is not making sense (to me).
.bashrc clearly shows: export PATH=$PATH:/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin, so does that not mean that bin can be found via the path? So why does 'context myfile.tex' not work?
If I run a full path (. /home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun context myfile.tex) I get the message 'cannot execute binary file' and yet mtxrun is executable. I checked. Clearly I am making a basic error, but cannot work out what.
