Hi!

On this page : http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/linux-packages.en.html
it is easy to miss the warning at the top "Important: In some cases you should
have to install the guile additional package manually. You can dowmload it
here|ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/TeXmacs/tmftp/Linux/";

Unfortunately, at the moment the ftp server seems down :(

As alternatives:

I made an Appimage that contains everything needed and which works well on all
machines where I could test it. Get it from
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/slowphil:/texmacs-devel/AppImage/

Download the file texmacs-XXXX.Appimage, make it executable and you're up and
running.

You can check that nothing nasty goes into this Appimage by inspecting the
build instructions here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:slowphil:texmacs-devel/texmacs
(check the appimage.yml file)

I've also made deb packages for Ubuntu 18.04 which AFAIU is the base for Mint
19. You can get them from :
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:slowphil:texmacs-devel&package=texmacs

(if you prefer not to add the repository, you also need to get guile-1.8 from
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:slowphil:texmacs-devel&package=guile-1.8
-- Maybe that all what is needed to run the offical deb. I haven't tested)

Philippe
