I suggest this patch (adapted from the texmacs-user mailing list):
When texmacs starts a maxima session, it checks the version for
compatibility. maxima is being released more often. Version 1.0.6 of
texmacs only recognizes maxima up to 5.14, but works with maxima 5.16.
These changes allow any

David: Thanks! It works fine.
I second Andrea; TeXmacs is too innovative and brilliant a piece of software to
be left in the state it is now, but I neither have the time nor the competence
to do anything about it. sad, since a little work could lift TeXmacs from very
promising to very good.

There should be an ubuntu maintainer for texmacs and related packages,
such as the scripts for the various sessions. I am not competent to do
that, although I am a texmacs user and try to find workarounds for the
problems I encounter.
Texmacs should be of special interest to this group:
Also confirming the issue on Hardy. I'm not sure why so many issues like
this remain for several releases at a time before they are fixed...

I can think of several reason:
* There is a known workaround.
* This package are in universe.
* No active ubuntu mantainer.
So it probably will be fixed when it is fixed upstream (debian or
maxima), or if someone contribute patches.

xhantt - You're probably right, but this bug is directly due to a change
that Ubuntu made and didn't properly support. This stuff works in Debian
because they use bash as /bin/sh. Using dash is great, but every package
that it breaks is an Ubuntu bug that can't be pawned off on upstream.

I think that we all agree that for us it is necesary that these packages
are fixed.
Well dash means debian alquimist shell, and I think it is a goal to
debian that all shell script don't depend on bash, so still applies to
debian, so fixing these scripts also may have interest to debian.
We have
The fixes are already described in this page and are trivial, the main
one is changing /bin/sh with /bin/bash in the first lines of the
scripts. But who has the authority to apply them?
The fact that the fixes are trivial does not mean that there is no
problem, the average user should not spend

You might try changing the link from /bin/sh -- /bin/dash to /bin/sh

I think the command would be:

Since compiling the program from source appears to have solved the

There are still problem with the detection of mupad and maple, however.
The script tm_mupad is in perl, so there must be some other problem.
The script tm_maple does not work even after the fix sh - bash.
tm_maple_5 is actually a binary file and I don't know what to do with
it.

Same problem here; TeXmacs complains that maxima plug-ins aren't
declared.
Maxima works in console mode, but however does not work with the Mascyma
frontend. This could be a problem with maxima rather than TeXmacs.
