YACMT (Yet Another Case of Missing ``Typename'') ;-)? See the line 
marked with <<<<< down below. I didn't try to compile it, but that
might be the problem.
 
 [ .... ]
  
  template<class Cont, class PtrMemFun>
  void apply(Cont c, PtrMemFun f) {
    typename Cont::iterator it = c.begin(); 	// <<<<< HERE
    while(it != c.end()) {
      (it->*f)();
      it++;
    }
  }
  [ .... ]
