The problem seems to be that there are multiple overloaded versions of
"isspace"[*], and the compiler doesn'tn know which one you want.

Changing the function that contains line 21 to the following seems to
make it work (though I dunno if it's the best solution):

   // Overloads to make cleaner calling for client code
   void rtrimws(string& s) {
     rtrimws (s, static_cast<int(&)(int)> (isspace));
   }

[I added the cast to "int(&)(int)" to force it to choose a particular
variant of isspace...]


[*] One is the usual "int isspace(int)", but there's _also_ this:

  template<typename _CharT>
    bool
    isspace(_CharT, const locale&);
