it is likely as I don't personally use ConTeXt so I haven't tested it
so far.

Thanks for offering help. I was able to compile the test example just
by:

export TEXMF=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c
context t.tex

but likely more will be needed to properly se it up. The main TEXMF
tree is located in /usr/share/texlive/texmf in Fedora and kpathsea is
modified to take it into account:

$ kpsewhich --expand-path='$TEXMF'
/home/jnovy/.texlive2011/texmf-var:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var:/usr/share/texlive/texmf:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist

$ kpsewhich --expand-path='$TEXMFCNF'
/usr/bin:/usr:/usr/share/texlive:/usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c

Is there any reason why ConTeXt doesn't use kpathsea to figure out
these paths?

Attaching texmf.cnf from TeX Live 2011 (the basic installation +
ConTeXt collection). Hopefully you will be able to dig some
information from it.

Thanks,
Jindrich

-------------- next part --------------
% original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
% Public domain.
% 
% If you modify this original file, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST when it is
% updated.  Instead, put your changes -- and only your changes, not an
% entire copy of the full texmf.cnf! -- in ../../texmf.cnf.  That is, if
% this file is installed in /some/path/to/texlive/2011/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf,
% add your custom settings to /some/path/to/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf.
% 
% What follows is a super-summary of what this .cnf file can
% contain. Please read the Kpathsea manual for more information.
%
% Any identifier (sticking to A-Za-z_ for names is safest) can be assigned.
% The `=' (and surrounding spaces) is optional.
% $foo (or ${foo}) in a value expands to the envvar or cnf value of foo.
% Long lines can be continued with a \.
%
% Earlier entries (in the same or another file) override later ones, and
% an environment variable foo overrides any texmf.cnf definition of foo.
%
% All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so you can use
% variables before they are defined.
%
% If a variable assignment is qualified with `.PROGRAM', it is ignored
% unless the current executable (last filename component of argv[0]) is
% named PROGRAM.  This foo.PROGRAM construct is not recognized on the
% right-hand side. For environment variables, use FOO_PROGRAM.
%
% Which file formats use which paths for searches is described in the
% various programs' and the Kpathsea documentation (http://tug.org/kpathsea).
%
% // means to search subdirectories (recursively).
% A leading !! means to look only in the ls-R db, never on the disk.
% In this file, either ; or : can be used to separate path components.
% A leading/trailing/doubled path separator in the paths will be
%   expanded into the compile-time default. Probably not what you want.
%
% Brace notation is supported, for example: /usr/local/{mytex,othertex}
% expands to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex.  We make extensive
% use of this.


% 
 Part 1: Search paths and directories.

% This is the parent directory of our several trees, i.e.,
% /usr/local/texlive/YYYY in the original TeX Live distribution.
%
% All trees must be organized according to the TeX Directory Structure
% (http://tug.org/tds), or files may not be found.
%
% Redistributors will probably want $SELFAUTODIR/share, i.e., /usr/share.
TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTOPARENT

% The tree containing runtime files related to the specific
% distribution and version.
TEXMFMAIN = $TEXMFROOT/texmf

% The main tree of packages, distribution-agnostic:
TEXMFDIST = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-dist

% Local additions to the distribution trees.
TEXMFLOCAL = $TEXMFROOT/../texmf-local

% TEXMFSYSVAR, where *-sys store cached runtime data.
TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-var

% TEXMFSYSCONFIG, where *-sys store configuration data.
TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-config

% Per-user texmf tree(s) -- organized per the TDS, as usual.  To define
% more than one per-user tree, set this to a list of directories in
% braces, as described above.  (This used to be HOMETEXMF.)  ~ expands
% to %USERPROFILE% on Windows, $HOME otherwise.
TEXMFHOME = ~/texmf

% TEXMFVAR, where texconfig/updmap/fmtutil store cached runtime data.
TEXMFVAR = ~/.texlive2011/texmf-var

% TEXMFCONFIG, where texconfig/updmap/fmtutil store configuration data.
TEXMFCONFIG = ~/.texlive2011/texmf-config

% List all the texmf trees.
%
% For texconfig to work properly, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be named
% explicitly and before all other trees.
% 
% TEXMFLOCAL follows TEXMFMAIN (and precedes TEXMFDIST) because the
% files in TEXMFMAIN are tightly coupled with the particular version of
% the distribution, such as configuration files.  Overriding them would
% be more likely to cause trouble than help.  On the other hand, the
% bulk of packages and fonts are in TEXMFDIST, and locally-installed
% versions should take precedence over those -- although it is generally
% a source of confusion to have different versions of a package
% installed, whatever the trees, so try to avoid it.
TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}

% Where to look for ls-R files.  There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% By default, this is only the !! elements of TEXMF, so that mktexlsr
% does not create ls-R files in the non-!! elements -- because if an
% ls-R is present, it will be used, and the disk will not be searched.
% This is arguably a bug in kpathsea.
TEXMFDBS = {!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}

% The system trees.  These are the trees that are shared by all users.
% If a tree appears in this list, the mktex* scripts will use
% VARTEXFONTS for generated files, if the original tree isn't writable;
% otherwise the current working directory is used.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFSYSVAR;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFDIST

% Where generated fonts may be written.  This tree is used when the sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts

% On some systems, there will be a system tree which contains all the font
% files that may be created as well as the formats.  For example
%   TEXMFVAR = /var/lib/texmf
% is used in many distros.  In this case, set VARTEXFONTS like this
%VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
% and do not mention it in TEXMFDBS (but _do_ mention TEXMFVAR).
%
% Remove $VARTEXFONTS from TEXMFDBS if the VARTEXFONTS directory is below
% one of the TEXMF directories (avoids overlapping ls-R files).

 Part 2: Options.

% If this option is set to true, `tex a.b' will look first for a.b.tex
% (within each path element), and then for a.b, i.e., we try standard
% extensions first.  If this is false, we first look for a.b and then
% a.b.tex, i.e., we try the name as-is first.
%
% Both names are always tried; the difference is the order in which they
% are tried.  The setting applies to all searches, not just .tex.
%
% This setting only affects names being looked up which *already* have
% an extension.  A name without an extension (e.g., `tex story') will
% always have an extension added first.
%
% The default is true, because we already avoid adding the standard
% extension(s) in the usual cases.  E.g., babel.sty will only look for
% babel.sty, not babel.sty.tex, regardless of this setting.

 Part 3: Array and other sizes for TeX (and Metafont).

% Thus, have to redump the .fmt file after changing main_memory; to add
% to existing fmt files, increase extra_mem_*.  (To get an idea of how
% much, try \tracingstats=2 in your TeX source file;
% web2c/tests/memtest.tex might also be interesting.)
%
% To increase space for boxes (as might be needed by, e.g., PiCTeX),

% For the vast majority of documents, 60000 or less will do.
