This is likely an error in your application.  class1::serialize<...> is not defined
in the library or the serialization headers.  It's missing from your application.
You've used something like

class1 c;
...
ar << c

but there is no

classs class1 {
...
    template<class Archive>
    void serialization(Archive &ar, unsigned int version){
        ...
    }
    ...
};
