The "write" function ends up overloaded with another write, and for_each doesn't know which one you mean. You can fix this by renaming the write function (perhaps to "my_write" or similar), or by applying a cast operator to pick the overload you want (something like "for_each(lst.begin( ), lst.end( ), (void(*)(string const &))write);"). ~ Scott P.S. For "why doesn't this compile?" questions, please refer to a general C++ list/channel before asking here, as it's rarely something GCC specific.
