If we note It the iterator type, your compiler is saying: 
  Cannot convert parameter 1 from "It (*)(void)" to "It".

Having a look at the incriminated line in 
<CGAL\Arrangement_2\Arrangement_on_surface_2_impl.h>, i guess that you have a 
macro named "he" somewhere in your project (in a header included before that 
CGAL header). Rename it, or #undef it as soon as it is no longer needed.

That other project probably does not define that macro polluting the naming 
space.
