You need to lua_pcall the chunk returned by luaL_loadfile here.

As the reference manual says "Also as lua_load, this function only loads
the chunk; it does not run it."

As loading a chunk doesn't run it none of the function definitions in the
chunk will take effect until after you call it. Once you use lua_call or
lua_pcall on the loaded chunk you should be able to continue with the rest
of your example code.

You may want to consider using lua_pcall instead of lua_call as it is used
to catch errors of this sort without crashing the host application.
