You should really read the tutorial from beginning and beter don't try to
subclass or use polymorphic pointers until you read the section explaining
it.

Thats an error triggered intentional to show that you have done something
wrong. Best you have a look at the tutorial again and if you don't manage
to get it right you need to post (a short version of) your example program
here in order to help you.
