This is a problem with fonts. I see similar things when I run TeXmacs as 
an ordinary user: it starts to generate the necessary font, but cannot 
write some generated file due to insufficient priviledges. To check this, 
try running TeXmacs as root: everything will work fine. As yet, nobody 
found how to fix this. TeX/LaTeX work fine on the same system, and 
generate fonts (using metafont) without any problem.
