TeXmacs needs guile 1.8, but the TeXmacs you download from 
www.texmacs.org come with guile 1.8 already bundled into the package so 
you do not need a separate guile installation.

This said I have never been able to compile TeXmacs from the sources but 
installation of the static binary worked for me while the packages did 
not as there are currently no packages for the current version of 
Ubuntu, which I am using.

How did you install it?
