cannot declare variable ‘’ to be of abstract type ‘’

Question

EDIT: After spending a bit of time understanding the code I wrote I still don't know what is wrong with it. This is the base class from which I derived my class:

///ContactResultCallback is used to report contact points
struct  ContactResultCallback
{
    short int   m_collisionFilterGroup;
    short int   m_collisionFilterMask;

    ContactResultCallback()
        :m_collisionFilterGroup(btBroadphaseProxy::DefaultFilter),
        m_collisionFilterMask(btBroadphaseProxy::AllFilter)
    {
    }

    virtual ~ContactResultCallback()
    {
    }

    virtual bool needsCollision(btBroadphaseProxy* proxy0) const
    {
        bool collides = (proxy0->m_collisionFilterGroup & m_collisionFilterMask) != 0;
        collides = collides && (m_collisionFilterGroup & proxy0->m_collisionFilterMask);
        return collides;
    }

    virtual btScalar    addSingleResult(btManifoldPoint& cp,    const btCollisionObjectWrapper* colObj0Wrap,int partId0,int index0,const btCollisionObjectWrapper* colObj1Wrap,int partId1,int index1) = 0;
};

Now here is my derived class:

class DisablePairCollision : public btCollisionWorld::ContactResultCallback
{
public:
    virtual btScalar addSingleResult(btManifoldPoint& cp, const btCollisionObject* colObj0, int32_t partId0, int32_t index0, const btCollisionObject* colObj1, int32_t partId1, int32_t index1);

    btDiscreteDynamicsWorld* DynamicsWorld;
};

And below is where I implement the main function. Still not sure why I'm getting this error.

I was using the code below on windows with both vc2010 and code blocks without a problem:

btScalar DisablePairCollision::addSingleResult(btManifoldPoint& cp, const btCollisionObject* colObj0, int32_t partId0, int32_t index0, const btCollisionObject* colObj1, int32_t partId1, int32_t index1)
{
    // Create an identity matrix.
    btTransform frame;
    frame.setIdentity();

    // Create a constraint between the two bone shapes which are contacting each other.
    btGeneric6DofConstraint* Constraint;
    Constraint = new btGeneric6DofConstraint( *(btRigidBody*)colObj0, *(btRigidBody*)colObj1, frame, frame, true );

    // Set limits to be limitless.
    Constraint->setLinearLowerLimit( btVector3(1, 1, 1 ) );
    Constraint->setLinearUpperLimit( btVector3(0, 0, 0 ) );
    Constraint->setAngularLowerLimit( btVector3(1, 1, 1 ) );
    Constraint->setAngularUpperLimit( btVector3(0, 0, 0 ) );

    // Add constraint to scene.
    DynamicsWorld->addConstraint(Constraint, true);
    return 0;
}

Now I'm trying to compile my project on Ubuntu but I am getting this error when I try to use that class:

/home/steven/Desktop/ovgl/src/OvglScene.cpp:211: error: cannot declare variable ‘Callback’ to be of abstract type ‘Ovgl::DisablePairCollision’

cannot declare variable ‘’ to be of abstract type ‘’
