You should try :

sudo make install

Please don't do this.

Installing not-package files into /usr can cause you call kinds of hell

Files in /usr all belong to a package and can be removed by removing the package and updated by updating the package.

if you want to "make install" it should be in /opt or /usr/local

I run debian/ubuntu/mint and I don't need to install texmacs to run it. I can run it from my own personal build-directory

Here's the wrapper script I use:

#! /bin/bash

TEXMACS_PROJECT=$HOME/Projects.nsw/texmacs/texmacs-gitsvn

export TEXMACS_PATH=$TEXMACS_PROJECT/src/TeXmacs

export TEXMACS_DOC_PATH=$TEXMACS_PROJECT/doc

exec $TEXMACS_PATH/bin/texmacs -g 1680x990 "$@"
