Wow! Seems like this shouldn't happen. Is there a software switch that needs to be enabled in order to turn on the error indicator in the default configuration version we have been given as examples?

I don't believe so. I actually ran into this at work (BAE Systems) and it was explained to me that it just expects the functions to be supplied in a different module. I guess that's the expected normal operation. It just makes life terribly difficult when you don't know what's missing. On the other hand, just knowing that can lead you to look in different directions than if you thought you weren't downloading correctly.
If you are using version control, try going back to an older version till you find one that works. Then track the changes. That's what we had to do.
