I recompiled it with the branch guile3. The behaviour is the same: 
(version) gives 1.8.8.


Configure outputs

configure: Guile version 2.0
configure: Guile data path: /usr/share/guile/2.0

(I checked running ./configure again after I have compiled and 
installed, but it is irrelevant as far as I know).


I am suspecting a different thing: that the command ./texmacs (run from 
the installation directory) does not run the TeXmacs I have just 
installed but the copy I have set as default by exporting $TEXMACS_PATH 
at login

To this point: what does the line in the shell script

if [ -z "$TEXMACS_PATH" ] ;

do? Does it check whether $TEXMACS_PATH exists? In this case that is the 
reason why the "usual" TeXmacs get run, that is $TEXMACS_PATH is already 
set in my shell.

I have tried running the shell script without the ifs, that is, reduced

if [ -z "$TEXMACS_PATH" ] ; then
  TEXMACS_PATH=${datarootdir}/TeXmacs
  export TEXMACS_PATH
  if [ -z "$TEXMACS_BIN_PATH" ] ; then
    TEXMACS_BIN_PATH=${exec_prefix}/libexec/TeXmacs
    export TEXMACS_BIN_PATH
  fi
else
  TEXMACS_BIN_PATH="$TEXMACS_PATH"
  export TEXMACS_BIN_PATH
fi


to


TEXMACS_PATH=${datarootdir}/TeXmacs
  export TEXMACS_PATH

TEXMACS_BIN_PATH=${exec_prefix}/libexec/TeXmacs
    export TEXMACS_BIN_PATH

and TeXmacs starts the compilation, then crashes: this makes me think I 
am going in the right direction.

I am seeing that the environments variables exported in this way are 
valid only in the terminal where I defined them, so this keeps the 
"usual" TeXmacs running when calling it from other terminal windows, and 
this means I can experiment easily. I would need a hint on how to go on.
