[Texmacs-dev] Re: installing new texmacs versions with ubuntu

[Marie-Francoise Roy]

Here is a solution (thanks to Alvaro Tejero Cantero)

%%%Installing  TeXtumacs-1.0.7.2 in Ubuntu%%%

Use the instructions from
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/sources.en.html

Download
TeXmacs-1.0.7.2-src.tar.gz

Put it in tmp

type
tar -zxvf TeXmacs-1.0.7.2-src.tar.gz

type
cd  TeXmacs-1.0.7.2-src

type
./configure
%tells you what is missing, install what you need using Ubuntu tool synaptic
type
make
type
sudo make install
%you need to be a superuser

%%%

So it seems to me that it would be better to tell Ubuntu users to go 
directly to
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/sources.en.html
rather than mentioning debian ...

Best
