[texhax] asymptote in latex - how?

[Bo Thide']

Hi,

I have been trying to use asymptote (currently version 1.43) together
with latex to embed an asy figure.  To this end I use the following almost
trivial source, taken more or less verbatim from Dario Texeira's "ASYMPTOTE
and LaTeX: An Integration Guide":

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{asymptote}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{asy}
size (3cm);
draw (unitcircle);
\end{asy}
\caption{This is a test.  Let's see if it works...}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

While the asy code works fine when I run it stand-alone, the embedding
in the latex file yields nothing.  Just blank, empty space.  

What am I doing wrong here?  The log file is enclosed below.

Bo
