After compiling with the debugging option, I found that the crashes had
to do with font loading. After playing with the
edit->preferences->printer->font type settings I cannot reproduce the
crash any longer. So, I summarize what I did to compile texmacs for
Fedora 6:

Pick an installation directory (writeable by you),
say: /usr/local/texmacs/, and a build directory. In the build directory
get guile-1.6.8.tar.gz, unpack it, enter the guile-1.6.8
directory, do
$ ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/texmacs
$ make
$ make install
The guile executables and libraries should now be
under /usr/local/texmacs.
Get TeXmacs-1.0.6.6-src.tar.gz, unpack it in the build directory,
enter the TeXmacs-1.0.6.6-src directory. Do:
$ export PATH=/usr/local/texmacs/bin:$PATH
$ ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/texmacs
During configuration you should see "guile version 1.6.8"
$ make
$ make install

Run texmacs with
$ /usr/local/texmacs/bin/texmacs
or setup a link to it.
I did this on a i386 machine; it may work also on a 64 bit architecture.
I hope this helps;

Best regards, Paolo
