mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[François-Xavier Thomas <address@hidden>]

My GS directory takes ~40M. Maybe there are some compilation artifacts that 
won't be there after you finish the installation?

Anyway, there really should be a warning about missing dependencies when you 
start TeXmacs. It really is a bad user experience to have to go all the way 
to the mailing lists to discover that, oh, yeah, by the way, you need 
GhostScript...
