mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

Hi,

I installed the TeXmacsStarter.app, but it did not start TeXmacs. I  
should have expected this, since I am only running Panther (10.3.9).  
The starter application activated X11, but then nothing more happend.  
The run.log says:

> dyld: texmacs.bin Undefined symbols:
> /Applications/TeXmacsStarter.app/Contents/Resources/TeXmacs/lib/ 
> libguile.12.dylib undefined reference to _ftime expected to be defined  
> in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

and cmd.log says:

> export DISPLAY=:0.0; export  
> PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/marius:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/ 
> bin:/opt/local/bin;export  
> TEXMACS_PATH=/Applications/TeXmacsStarter.app/Contents/Resources/

> PATH=/Applications/TeXmacsStarter.app/Contents/Resources/TeXmacs/bin:/

Normally TeXmacs runs fine in X11, it is insalled via fink, as is all  
the other required programs (teTeX, ghostscript etc...)
