As the error message indicates, you can't delete a void*. Try this:

// See http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=cplusplus&seqNum=40

#include  // for size_t

class Complex
{
public:
 Complex() {}
 ~Complex() {}
 static void* operator new (size_t size) {
  return new char[size];
 }
 static void operator delete (void *p) {
  return delete[] static_cast(p);
 }
};

int main () {
  Complex *p = new Complex;
  delete p;
}
