I think I know what happened:

I booted a live usb and then set-up the binary. It worked without
problem, so it had to be something from my configuration. I removed
the package for texmacs 1.0.6.4 from software center, and then I tried
it. It crashed again.

After asking which texmacs,

it replied /home/soto/Downloads/TeXmacs-1.0.7.7-static-gnu-linux//bin/texmacs

I noticed the two slashes before bin. I removed the slash in .bashrc
so it says now
export TEXMACS_PATH=/home/soto/Downloads/TeXmacs-1.0.7.7-static-gnu-linux

instead of
export TEXMACS_PATH=/home/soto/Downloads/TeXmacs-1.0.7.7-static-gnu-linux/

That resolved the issue!!!!
By the way, a long time ago I had the same issue in Solaris, so I
guess the reason was the same....

By the way, why does it take so long for texmacs to start up in 1.0.7.7??

I love the program. Soon, the math department will switch from
solaris to ubuntu, and now we will be using Texmacs more amongst the
department, I hope.

Thanks!!!
