That was because the name of the directory above the one that I was 
compiling in contained a space. Corrected that, compilation stopped with 
a segmentation fault; that in turn was corrected by applying the patch 
at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2012-07/msg00011.html


Finally, I suspect the grandparent post asked about compiling Mogan, not 
TeXmacs. But I appreciated the instructions for compiling TeXmacs :-)
