### Maxima TeX Conversion not Working in Lyx . . .

Greetings!

I have a simple question for the community today; but it's been troubling me for a while.

Suppose we have a straightforward equation formatted for Maxima,

integrate(4*sqrt(1-(x^2)),x,0,1);

Then, desiring syntax for direct insertion into a *.lyx document, we run

tex ('integrate(4*sqrt(1-(x^2)),x,0,1));

yielding

4\,\int_{0}^{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}\;dx}

Then, into a normally-headered *.lyx document, we insert

\begin_body \begin_layout Standard\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}4\,\int_{0}^{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}\;dx}\end{eqnarray*} \end_inset  \end_layout \end_body

which, when opened in LyX (using either Octave or Maxima to solve/edit), does not return an answer to the document.

What might this newbie be missing to allow an equation converted through Maxima (tex) to run directly in a *.lyx document?

Thanks a bunch
