The type AbstractLinearProduct is defined in the header for
LinearProduct, which is included in the .cc file. Googling, it sounds
as if complaints about typeinfo may signal missing RTTI. However, I did
not compile with no-rtti, and the included files referenced are all
source files.
I do use some dynamic_cast's, though none of them mention
AbstractLinearProduct explicitly.
I'd appreciate any pointers you can offer. Is it possible that because
AbstractLinearProduct is never instantiated (it can't be, having pure
virtual functions), some needed info isn't being generated that's needed
elsewhere?
