Have never been impressed with texmacs, pain in the ass.  Wanted to give it 
another go, but with same disappointment.

I did as instructed.

setenv TEXMACS_PATH [installation directory]
setenv PATH $TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH

I extracted in /home/tolu/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin

then used in my .bashrc

   export TEXMACS_PATH=${HOME}/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1a/TeXmacs/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$TEXMACS_PATH
