What OS (and if Linux, which distro) do you use?

Does command-line maxima run OK? Is it in the $PATH?

What happens if you run the script maxima_detect (usually it lives in 
/usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin/)? On my computer, I get

grozin@gandalf /usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin $ ./maxima_detect
("5.14.0 sbcl"
"5.14.0 cmucl"
"5.14.0 clisp")

You should have something similar. If you get

#f

instead, this means that the script cannot find maxima.

You can try to start TeXmacs (once) as

texmacs -S

Or, more radically, you can remove the whole ~/.TeXmacs/ directory and 
then start TeXmacs.
