Usually this works well. However, you should check the following items/prerequisites:
1. Where is the fricas plugin installed? (should be either local or global
but not both)
In ~/.TeXmacs/plugins/fricas/progs/ or globally, e.g.
/usr/local/share/TeXmacs/plugins/ ?
2. Does $ fricas -texmacs work?
kfp@nilqed:~$ fricas -texmacs

prompt#(2) -> )quit
3. In the file init-fricas.scm (folder: TeXmacs/plugins/fricas/progs/)
find the routine
(plugin-configure fricas
(:require #t)
(:launch "fricas -texmacs")
(:session "Fricas")
(:serializer ,fricas-serialize)
(:scripts "Fricas"))
and check the field :launch and :session.
In :launch you may set the full path to fricas, although not necessary.
If all these points are ok, then it should work ...
BTW: your TeXmacs versions is quite old.
I've attached my config in a pdf, maybe it will help you to find the error.
