If I uunderstood you right, you was using somebodyelse his code.
This is sometimes a problem, because the originale writer has the rest of the files.
Because you try to put out 1 file for testing, you are in trouble.

Try to cleanup the code with to remove all the garbage code that you don't use.

Mostly what I do, is just to cut&past code that I try.
