Anybody know how to fix this.

I believe the problem is here:

template <typename ContainerType>
ContainerType rsa_encrypt_list(const std::string&, const typename
ContainerType::reference, const typename ContainerType::reference);

... you can't const-qualify ContainerType::reference; Comeau online
gives warning "warning: type qualifiers are meaningless in this
declaration"

you need instead:
template <typename ContainerType>
ContainerType rsa_encrypt_list(const std::string&, typename
ContainerType::const_reference, typename
ContainerType::const_reference);

and define const_reference in your ContainerType(s) accordingly.

thanks that fixes everything.
