[Anthony Lander <address@hidden>]

Ok, after poking around a bit with gdb, It look like TeXmacs is failing 
because it can't find

$GUILE_LOAD_PATH/init-texmacs.scm

as per src/System/Boot/init_texmacs.cpp:

=====
static void
init_guile () {
  url guile_path= get_env_path ("GUILE_LOAD_PATH", "$TEXMACS_PATH/progs");

  if (!exists ("$GUILE_LOAD_PATH/init-texmacs.scm")) {
    cerr << "\nTeXmacs]\n";
    //... elided
=====

Is this correct code? And if so, then it appears that my system has some 
environment variables set incorrectly. I have 

GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/share/guile/1.6

If this is correct, then I'm a bit confused by the if(!exists...) line.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks,

  -anthony
