Hi, I got a good installation with

Release 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit --Mint

by downloading

TeXmacs-1.99.5-x11-i386-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

This is a compiled,probably static, package so I just followed the INSTALL instructions. I presume that sometime in the past I downloaded multiarch and such. I probably ran it from the command line:

texmacs

a few times just to see how much griping it did abouts fonts and such. Sorry I don't remember exactly.

Other, un compiled, versions didn't compile because of packages being obsoleted in Ubuntu 16.04 and I couldn't get things straight.

We really need AI and formal methods to drain the software swamp we have walked into. A person can only manipulate about 5 "chunks" simultaneously; so I have found that people _always_ try for more, and if it works one time it has to work forever (?).

a) on how to install last version 1.99.5 on ubuntu

This is what I would do, I haven’t tried it but it should work (I think):

1. Download the generic rpm package:
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/rpm.en.html

2. Using ‘alien’ convert the rpm package in a deb package that Ubuntu
understands. Here is how: https://wiki.debian.org/Alien

3. Install the deb package:

Maybe there is a better / faster / easier way, but…
