Answer 1: Murray is (nearly always) right- don't use testing unless you like broken things. It's on a website containing the phrase unstable, after all...so the manual is a work in progress.
Answer 2: your bottom line says it all.
The problem with the function is ( sort of ) stated: if you scroll down, you get to
/usr/include/sigc++-2.0/sigc++/adaptors/adaptor_trait.h:103: error: return-statement with a value, in function returning 'void'
m_Notebook.signal_switch_page().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &ExampleWindow::on_notebook_switch_page) );
which means that when the function is called, it wants a page widget and a page number passed to it- which isn't happening.
If you want to make it work, you have two options. Either change the function so it doesn't require anything passed to it, or use sigc::bind to pass the information to it. The information you're trying to pass is accessible through the notebook itself, so passing it with sigc::bind would seem a good way to introduce unnecessary complexity. Seeing there's only 2 pages, you could try something like:
and see if that compiles ( you'd also have to remove the parameters in the declaration).

Subject: Help on compiling notebook example
Hello,
I am not sure this is the correct way to get help on
gtkmm GUI program. Please let me know.
I am having a compiling error when compiling the notebook example on the following web-page.
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/sec-multi-item-containers.html.en#sec-notebook
This is offendinf code:
m_Notebook.signal_switch_page().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&ExampleWindow::on_notebook_switch_page) );
Here is the compilation errors:
