Your problem is simply that you're not including the include path for the LIVE555 header files in your compilation line.  Most people build applications using the "make" command, rather than directly invoking the compiling/linking tools from the command line.  Look at how the "Makefile" in the "testProgs" directory works.  You'll want to do something similar.
