Re: [Texmacs-dev] (Follow-up from texmacs-users) Plotting functions with TeXmacs graphics -> Installing development version of TeXmacs

[TeXmacs]

Hi Giovanni,

I usually compile Guile from the source code myself.
On certain machines, you may need to tweak a few lines during
the build process, but Guile 1.8 or Guile 1.6 still compiles
well on most systems.

Best wishes, --Joris
