With your suggestion I did

tolu@hag:~$ cd /home/tolu/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin
tolu@hag:~/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin$ ls
fig2ps  texmacs  texmacs.bin  tm_gs
tolu@hag:~/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin$ ./texmacs &
[1] 30843
tolu@hag:~/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin$ ./texmacs &
[2] 30853
tolu@hag:~/Opstk/bin/texmacs/texmacs-2.1/TeXmacs/bin$ ./texmacs

No errors, but the gui is not popping up.
