John,

There are two versions of tolower available in C++:
old C functiona and new locale-aware function in C++.
Apparently, GCC under Leopard introduces some changes
that cause tolower is ambiguous if both prototypes of tolower are
included and the function is through pointer to function what occurs in
line 66.

Could you try to replace the line 66 in file XMLTester.cpp with
following line and see if it compiles for you now?

std::transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(),
(int(*)(int))std::tolower);

Cheers
