Hi,


I found that compiling youself is the only feasible way at least on LinuxMint 18. The static version tended to crash and the alien imported rpm version had some encoding issues with German Umlauts.

I have tried to make an AppImage for TeXmacs that would be universal to all Linux distros but failed so far. I will try again when I find the time.


Yours,


Ingolf

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: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/159094/how-to-install-a-deb-file-by-dpkg-i-or-by-apt

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