Hmm, I just tried and it worked immediately. When I downloaded the 
TeXmacs source from the same server yesterday, I had to retry several 
times, too.

Or a temporary server problem?

Don't know about this, but when I just checked this (strating with the 
Tutorial for Beginners), I found another bug: The inline pictures were 
not shown, and in the console I had:

TeXmacs] Running ghostscript

Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

This is repeatable. I even removed the whole ~/.TeXmacs directory and 
started from fresh. Same error.

It is not surprising that ghostscript fails when the file does not 
exist. But why does pngtopnm use such a wrong file name, and where can I 
tell TeXmacs that my home directory is *not* 
http://www.gnu.org/Users/martinc/ ?

How does it get the idea to prepend http://www.gnu.org/ to the path?
