My research group has a TeXmacs plugin which was originally developed
under Fedora 5 with TeXmacs 1.0.6.7. After upgrading to Fedora 7, it
ceased to work properly. The main symptom is this: the plugin passes
data back to TeXmacs which should look like this:
... (tuple 12 "") (tuple 13 "") ...
But under certain installations, TeXmacs **reports** [emphasis added]
receiving data looking like this:
... (tuple #{12}# "") (tuple #{13}# "") ...
Is this the raw text sent to TeXmacs, or was this read as a Scheme datum
(using the version of the Guile parser TeXmacs was linked to) and then
displayed? The TeXmacs binary provided by Fedora 7 is dynamically
linked to the distribution's version of Guile, while a statically linked
TeXmacs binary would include the version of Guile installed on the
computer on which it was compiled, possibly with a different parser.
