Ideas Visualforce Page instructions confusing!!!

I am trying to create a VF page that is essentially identical to the standard Salesforce Ideas page (Zones, tabs, et al).  To get started I am trying to follow the instructions for this laid out here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index.htm (search for Ideas).

There the following VF code is listed: 
<!-- page named listPage -->
<apex:page standardController="Idea" extensions="MyIdeaListExtension" recordSetVar="ideaSetVar">
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <ideas:listOutputLink sort="recent" page="listPage">Recent Ideas
        </ideas:listOutputLink>
        | 
        <ideas:listOutputLink sort="top" page="listPage">Top Ideas
        </ideas:listOutputLink>
        | 
        <ideas:listOutputLink sort="popular" page="listPage">Popular Ideas
        </ideas:listOutputLink>
        | 
        <ideas:listOutputLink sort="comments" page="listPage">Recent Comments
        </ideas:listOutputLink>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:dataList value="{!modifiedIdeas}" var="ideadata">
            <ideas:detailoutputlink ideaId="{!ideadata.id}" page="viewPage">
             {!ideadata.title}</ideas:detailoutputlink>
        </apex:dataList>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

When I attempt to use this I get the error: 
Error: Unknown page listPage referenced by attribute page in <ideas:listOutputLink> in listPage at line 3 column 61

I am totally confused!!!  Do I need a separate VF page named "listPage" (I tried a blank page with that name and it still threw the same error).

(1) Can I even create a VF page that is a duplicate (or as close as possible) to the Standard Ideas page?
(2) How can I do that?

Thanks!!!

What you are using here is a salesforce custom component:> ideas:listOutputLink

reference:
https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_ideas_listOutputLink.htm

To use this component, please contact your salesforce.com representative and request that the Ideas extended standard controllers be enabled for your organization

Did you get this enabled in your ORG?

Thanks Sonam.  I will double check on that.  If issues persist afterwards I will get back with you.

Just as a follow-up question, though...do you know if #1 I asked is possible?  Can I essentially duplicate Ideas functionality using custom VF code?

How did you get on with this adrissel? I'd like to know if you encountered any further snags, as I am about to start this process also, I'd like to avoid the pitfalls. Mainly I'm hoping to replicate the dropdown filters available in the SF UI.
