[Tex/LaTex] How to get an ‘undefined control sequence \begin{thebibliography}{1}’

bibtex

I am trying to add a bibliography to my document. I create a test.tex:

\documentclass[twocolumn, a4paper]{ieicejsp}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\begin{document}

Cite\cite{GDE3}
\bibliography{bibliography}

\end{document}

I run the bibtex command and get a 

test.aux=>text.bbl 
Done!

Then I try to run the LaTeX and get an error:

'undefined control sequence \begin{thebibliography}{1}'

But the contents of text.bbl file are:

\begin{thebibliography}{1}

\bibitem{GDE3}
Saku Kukkonen and Jouni Lampinen.
\newblock Gde3: the third evolution step of generalized differential evolution.
\newblock In {\em IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation}, pages 443--450,
  2005.

\end{thebibliography}

Please, what am i missing?

EDIT1:

The exact error message was:

This is pTeXk, Version 3.141592-p3.1.11 (euc) (Web2C 7.5.4)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
(./test.tex
pLaTeX2e <2006/11/10>+0 (based on LaTeX2e <2009/09/24> patch level 0)

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \refname 
                    \@mkboth {\refname }{\refname }
l.1 \begin{thebibliography}{1}

EDIT2:

As Joseph Wright suggested, adding 

\newcommand*{\refname}{Bibliography}

just before the 

\begin{document}

command solved the problem. Thank you! You have no idea how much you helped me.

Maybe your ieicejsp doesn't support this? I tried your file with report and it worked (after doing multiple runs with pdflatex, so it could resolve the dependencies).

Note: Had to use another template, because I don't have ieicejsp installed.
