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
