Hi,

  this error:

means that the FreeType library was not linked into TeXmacs. When you 
compiled, you had to go to the "src" directory and type "./configure" 
first, right? What options did you choose?

Usually none is required to use this library, so either you explicitly 
chose not to link it (with "./configure --with-freetype=no") which I 
doubt, or it simply is not present in your system. Try looking for it in 
the package manager of your system or "sudo apt-get install freetype" or 
something like that, then start the build process again:

cd [path to the texmacs sources]/src
./configure  [with some options you choose]
grep USE_FREETYPE *

This should output something like:

config.log:| #define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.log:| #define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.log:| #define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.log:| #define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.log:| #define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.log:#define USE_FREETYPE 1
config.status:D["USE_FREETYPE"]=" 1"
configure:$as_echo "#define USE_FREETYPE 1" >>confdefs.h
configure.in:    AC_DEFINE(USE_FREETYPE, 1, [Use freetype library])

Now you can type

make -jN

where N is the number of cores (x2 if you have hyperthreading). In my 
case (intel i3) it's "make -j4". If you are fortunate, it can be "make 
-j12"

Good luck,
