undefined reference error when compiling c++ application

I receiving a undefined reference error when try to compile an c++ program. I'm the using the -I and -L switches to point to lib and include files my command:

g++ -g  -Wall -L/usr/local/lib/active -I/usr/local/include/active tutorial_01.cpp -o tutorial_01

Can some help me with what I'm missing?

The -L option doesn't really do anything for you unless you also use -l with the name of the library. I'm going to take a guess that your library is named libactive.a, in which case you'll want to do this:

g++ -g -Wall -L/usr/local/lib/active -lactive -I/usr/local/include/active tutorial_01.cpp -o tutorial_01

If the library has a different name, you'll need to change it.

Here's the rule: For a library called /path/to/library/libmylibrary.a, use this command line: -L/path/to/library -lmylibrary.
