  You should also print out the value of 'errno' here, it's the global
variable that holds the code for the last error from C library functions.

  It would tell us a lot if we knew whether errno was equal to ENOENT or
EACCES.

  Nope, it wouldn't make a difference.  PATH is only used by the shell when
searching for commands; it isn't used when you're calling fopen.  For fopen,
you must provide the exact path to the file, or the file must be in the cwd
(current directory) when your program is running.

  I don't use eclipse myself, but I'd guess there's a setting somewhere for
what the current directory should be when it launches the executable.  Make
sure your text file is in that directory, or change the setting so it points
at the debug/release folder where you already put the text file.
