Well, the compiler is right: you are calling a non-const method on a const 
object. If getCell doesn't modify the object (given the name, I guess it 
doesn't), then add "const" in the definition of the getCell method, _after_ 
the parameter list, both in the .h and in the .cc
A good C++ book would help :-)
