On FreeBSD we have /usr/local/libexec/TeXmacs/bin/tm_maxima ,
but that isn't the crucial file.
Important is that
/usr/local/libexec/TeXmacs/bin/maxima_detect
uses
#!/bin/bash
but bash lives in FreeBSD's linux compatibility system. When I 
change the first line to
#!/compat/linux/bin/bash
everything runs fine. No need to hack tm_maxima .

Thanks, I wouldn't have found that, if you hadn't pushed me into 
the right direction.

Regards,

Uli.
