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 (?).
