In general I advise to use the official packages of your distro. But,
since the fedora package seems broken for a time, I advise you to
compile it from the svn, on your lastest Fedora. Here follows a mini
howto that I wrote for Fedora 17. Try it and don't hesitates to update
it.

Regards.

= HowTo compile TeXmacs under Fedora =

Tested on a fresh install (Fedora 17).

== Getting the sources ==

You can get the latest version or stable version on 
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/sources.en.html (section 2) or
get the current development version.

If you want the latest version or stable version, copy the link on the 
above web page, then
$ su -c "yum install wget"
$ wget <link_to_source_archive>
$ tar xvf TeXmacs-<version>-src.tar.gz
$ cd TeXmacs-<version>-src

Else, if you prefer the current development version, you have to 
install subversion, using
$ su -c "yum install subversion"
then, you can download the current SVN version of TeXmacs in read-only 
mode, using
$ svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/texmacs/trunk/src

== Getting the dependencies ==

The default TeXmacs configuration depends on Guile and Qt4. To get 
them, just do
$ su -c "yum install qt-devel guile-devel"

You will also need a basic compiling environment, so
$ su -c "yum install make gcc gcc-c++ automake qconf automoc"

Since under Fedora, Qt4 tools are suffixed by -qt4, we make some links
in order to find the good tools in the path.
$ su -c "ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 /usr/local/bin/qmake"
$ su -c "ln -s /usr/bin/uic-qt4   /usr/local/bin/uic"
$ su -c "ln -s /usr/bin/moc-qt4   /usr/local/bin/moc"

Note: this is a bug; we have to fix it.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37316

Finally, you will need some TeX related tools for fonts building.
$ su -c "yum install texlive-latex"

== Compiling and installing ==

$ cd src
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install

Now, enjoy:
$ texmacs

See section 3 and 4 of 
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/sources.en.html for more details.
