Apparently the compiler can't figure out where to find a vtable
pointer unless it at least knows what the root base class is you
To revisit the discussion on casting last week... I just ran across
this issue:
error: cannot dynamic_cast ‘oldvar’ (of type ‘void*’) to type ‘class
Preconditioner*’ (source is not a pointer to class)
The offending code is:
PetscErrorCode __libmesh_petsc_preconditioner_setup (void * ctx)
