Hello,

I tried this install, but it does not seem to work, even if I installed the ubuntu guile libs.

I also removed the static binaries that caused problem and avoid seeing the other problem with the ubuntu .deb package:

However, the problem with the related to the static binaries has already been reported several times. I did not succeed to find any working solution.

Below is the output of the actual install.

For the moment, I will swich back to the static binaries, that allow me to work without accent, but to display everyting.

best regards

Alexandre

I'm surprised the installation of the Deb I recommended went well: I just
tried it on an lxde debian 9 live cd and it failed because it needs
additionnal packages...

first add the following fonts:
sudo apt-get install fonts-texgyre fonts-stix

then download the following debs:

http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/readline6/libreadline6_6.3-4ubuntu2_amd64.deb
http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/guile-1.8/guile-1.8-libs_1.8.8+1-8ubuntu3_amd64.deb
http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/guile-1.8/guile-1.8_1.8.8+1-8ubuntu3_amd64.deb
(this one should be the same as downloaded from opensuse)

and install them by switching to the download directory and typing
sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb

You'll need to install (in that order): libreadline6_6.3-4ubuntu2_amd64.deb,
guile-1.8-libs_1.8.8+1-8ubuntu3_amd64.deb, guile-1.8_1.8.8+1-
8ubuntu3_amd64.deb, texmacs_1.99.5.svn10639-0_amd64.deb

caution: the texmacs deb was built against the guile version from ubuntu
14.04. Do not try using another version of guile-1.8, or texmacs will complain
it was not linked against it. Since texmacs will most likely be the only
program to use guile-1.8 on your os it should not cause any issue.


Once this is done (and the static version of texmacs removed), the accented
character problem is solved. This confirms the problem is really with the
static binary, as I was guessing initially.

Best regards,
Philippe

PS. We know the static binary as issues. Hopefully in the near future readily-
installable texmacs packages will be available for most mainstream distros: We
are (slowly) working on improving that package construction through OpenSuse's
Open Build Service - stay tuned.
