I just built TeXmacs on Ubuntu 16.04. You are right. TeXmacs 1.99.5 segfaults when closing any dialog window. And I got the same problem as you when trying to compile it.
What I did is compile the svn version. It works great. You may need to install Qt4 sudo apt install libqt4-dev sudo apt install subversion svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/texmacs/trunk/src $HOME/Downloads/TeXmacs-svn cd $HOME/Downloads/TeXmacs-svn ./configure make Then I created a symlink for the TeXmacs directory ln -s `realpath TeXmacs` $HOME/bin/TeXmacs That way you can update the source, recompile and keep working. I created the following launcher script in $HOME/bin (do not forget to chmod +x it) texmacs-launcher #!/usr/bin/env bash export TEXMACS_PATH=$HOME/bin/TeXmacs export PATH=$TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH $TEXMACS_PATH/bin/texmacs And I created an XDG launcher in $HOME/.local/share/applications/ texmacs.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=TeXmacs Exec=/home/marduk/bin/texmacs-launcher Icon=/home/marduk/bin/TeXmacs/misc/images/TeXmacs.png Terminal=false Type=Application Enjoy! _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
