The symbol that causes the first error belongs to TeXmacs file
evaluate.cc and should definitively be found.  The guile fatal error
is another error but may be caused by the same (to be identified)
problem.

IF I were you, I would recompile TeXmacs from scratch and check
marginal conditions like full disk (I would expect that to cause
a failure of the build but I have no better explanation).
I would advise to use the latest version of TeXmacs

I hope you will succeed geting TeXmacs working.
