I managed to install the TeXmacs-version of Fedora Core 5. In order to 
do so I also had to install the guile-version of Fedora Core 5. Though I 
found a src.rpm package TeXmacs-1.0.6-6.fc6.src.rpm I didn't succeed in 
installing TeXmacs for Fedora Core 6 because of a missing 
libguile-ltdl.so file . I was unable to find  libguile-ltdl.so with google.
