Why can't I use the "bpipe" function from the Datafeed Toolbox on MATLAB R2014b?

I have recently installed MATLAB R2014b on a Linux system.  When I try to use the 'bpipe' function to open a connection to Bloomberg, I get the following error:

Undefined function or variable 'bpipe'.

I have verified that the toolbox is installed and I am licensed for it.  Why can't I use this function?
