Hi,

I don't know your specific problem, but 'cannot instantiate abstract class' 
is normally an indication that you have not defined a pure virtual function 
declared in the base class in your own class, or that you have redeclared a 
in inherited pure virtual function as pure (using =0 syntax) in your own 
class. In that case it is abstract and cannot be instantiated.
