const char *pc=const_cast<const char *> (aptx);

Note that this cast is rarely needed, as non-const arguments
automatically become const when passed to a function requiring const
parameters. You may use it, however, to document your intention.

You're getting an error because you pass the address of aptx, which is
already a pointer. &aptx is of type char **, which is not what this
function expects. Simply pass aptx as is, without the ampersand:

strcpy(emprs.first, apts);
