After adding a closing bracket for main, it only complains about:

teststl.cpp: In function `int main()':
teststl.cpp:23: no match for `reverse_iterator<const int *> & !=
reverse_iterator<int *>'

Which is indeed correct.  It may be regarded as an STL problem, and so
it might be fixed in the next import of SGI STL, or the problem should
be reported to the maintainers of SGI STL, which we simply
re-distribute.  In order to avoid this problem, instead of writing:

>   NumberCollection::const_reverse_iterator  riter;

>   for (riter = num_collect.rbegin();
>        riter != num_collect.rend();

I write:

for (NumberCollection::const_reverse_iterator riter=..., eiter=...end();
     riter != eiter; ++riter) ...

which compiles fine.
