Can list container contain an vector object, such as list< vector<string> >??

hi, everybody
I am a newbie in STL. When I compile the following program under
gcc4.0, I got a the following errors.
I wonder whether the form of list< vector<string> > is correct in STL
?
// test.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

typedef vector<string> RECORD;
typedef list< RECORD > DataInstances;

DataInstances getRecords(const string& filename);
void print_data(const DataInstances& d);
void print_vector(const vector<string>& s);

const string filename = "mydata";

int main(void)
{
DataInstances data;

data = getRecords(filename);
print_data(data);

return 0;
}

DataInstances getRecords(const string& filename)
{
.......
return instances;

}
void print_vector(const vector<string>& s)
{
......
}

void print_data(const DataInstances& d)
{
DataInstances::iterator pos;
// the compiler seems to say "pos = d.begin()" is error? why
?
for (pos = d.begin(); pos != d.end(); ++pos) { //test.cpp:86
,complier say this line has error
print_vector(*pos);
}
}

Following is the compile errors:

In function 'void print_data(const DataInstances&)':
test.cpp:86: error: no match for 'operator=' in 'pos = (+
d)->std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::begin [with _Tp =

Any one give me some help ?
Thanks!

It is.

// test.cpp
#include <iostream> [snip]

void print_data(const DataInstances& d)
{
DataInstances::iterator pos;
// the compiler seems to say "pos = d.begin()" is error? why
?

You try to obtain an iterator to a const container. Try const_iterator.

for (pos = d.begin(); pos != d.end(); ++pos) { //test.cpp:86
,complier say this line has error
print_vector(*pos);
}
}

[snip]
