Sorry Raju I just had no time to do it.

Here are the answers to your questions:

andrea@sita:~$ dpkg -l guile\*

un guile-1.8-doc <none> (no description available)
ii guile-1.8-libs 1.8.5+1-3ubunt Main Guile libraries

But, should not the .deb package itself require the correct dependencies at
the
moment of installation?

yes unfortunately, a segmentation fault.

I am usually replying from the texmacs-users web interface; I notice that each
time, I get an additional Re: in the subject, should I delete it? I don't
really understand how threads are taken into account by the archive, is it by
comparing the subject lines?

I have also some questions about the installation of the .deb package on
Ubuntu:

I have been trying to install texmacs on machines with AMD Athlon processors,
I
see here

http://packages.debian.org/experimental/editors/texmacs
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/editors/texmacs-common

that texmacs-common is provided for "all" architectures, while texmacs is
provided for "i386". May be this is part of the problem?

I started to think so because on this machine:

*-cpu
description: CPU
product: AMD Athlon(tm) XP
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
physical id: 4
bus info: cpu@0
version: 6.10.0
slot: Socket-A
size: 1250MHz
capacity: 3GHz
width: 32 bits
clock: 100MHz
capabilities: boot fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce
cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext
3dnow up ts

texmacs is installed with apt-get install -t experimental texmacs
texmacs-common, but it crashes at start.

On this machine instead (which is 64 bit dual core):

*-cpu
description: CPU
product: AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850e
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
physical id: 3
bus info: cpu@0
version: AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850e
serial: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
slot: AM2
size: 2500MHz
width: 64 bits
clock: 200MHz
capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8

mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp x86-64 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good nopl pni cx16 lahf_lm
cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch

I can install texmacs-common but not texmacs:

andrea@flash:~$ sudo apt-get install -t experimental texmacs texmacs-common
