ok, i did that:
bwv988 metapost/context# kpsewhich cont-en.efmt
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt
bwv988 metapost/context# mv metafun.mem /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt
but, my test doesn't work:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bwv988 0/266 ~/play_context> more play.tex
