	it seems you use the old g++. i recommend you to upgrade the
compiler at least to 2.8.0 version.

/Oleg

p.s. if you still would like to know the reason of that message: the
real reason is that you did not add the `-frtti' option to command
line. g++ versions prior 2.8.0 require use of `-frtti' together with
`-fhandle-exceptions'. documentation says that without `-frtti' only
exact matching and match by reference will work but it did not work.
at least for me.
