Well, every time I try texmacs I get frustrated after a few minutes.
Recently I downloaded TeXmacs-1.0.6.8-static-gnu-linux.tar.gz extracted
and started it. Then I started a Maple session typed just

2 + 3

and ENTER and texmacs stopped to respond.

After setting MATHLINK_PLATFORM I get a few warnings but Mma seems to work.

Anyway, always seem to run into trouble with TeXmacs although I find the 
idea very good and I think texmacs is very appropriate as an Axiom GUI 
and also (and in particular) for the literate programming way of writing 
 the Axiom program itself.

Well, I thought you in particular could trace that bug somehow. 
Unfortunately, I cannot do serious things in LISP.
