Hi,

I am trying to compile a simple program in C++ and I am not obtaining. This returning the following error:

Basically I am trying you work with polimorf in the GCC.

The simple program is:

class A {
     public:
             A();
             ~A();
};

class B: public A {
     public:
             B();
             ~B();
};

int main(void) {
      A *a;
      B b;
      a = new B();
}

You only declared constructors and destructors for the classes, but did not define them. You could write A() {}; ~A() {}; instead to define empty constructor and destructor.

HTH,
Pavel.
