Hi,
i installed the last ubuntu version. Texmacs is no longer maintained as a package. So i downloaded the last .deb package : it works fine. I haven't tested the packages like python, scilab ... neither the code indentation for python.
I wanted a newer version, so i downloaded the stable binary : the Alt+e for enumerate doesn't appear (the same for alt+i) : i didn't test longer since i use these too often.
Then i downloaded the sources. Since i have guile 1.8 and 2, i had to follow the indications on the texmacs website but compilation failed because of guile. From the website
http://www.mit.edu/afs.new/athena/software/texmacs_v1.99.2/README.config, i typed the four lines
export GUILE_CFLAGS="`pkg-config --static --cflags guile-1.8`"
export GUILE_LDFLAGS="`pkg-config --static --libs guile-1.8`"
export GUILE_DATA_PATH="`pkg-config --variable=datadir guile-1.8`"
export GUILE_VERSION="`pkg-config --modversion guile-1.8`"
and texmacs did compile. And it worked. Didn't have time to test the packages neither.
Thank you for all your work,
ML
