I actually need to specify a file within the directory. I wasn't aware that

For the record, I do have read/write permission in the directory, and the
directory does exist!! I am executing the program within the ~/SuperHirn/make
you cannot define a directory in a C program like this. Take the home
directory and then either move with individual 'cwd' calls to the target

for sure if this program evens runs under Cygwin, it was meant for UNIX/Linux,
I'm just trying to get it working.
Both described methods work under cygwin, any Unix I know, even Windows

I tried a few more iterations and nothing wants to work, very frustrating.
Any more suggestions? Install Linux in a dual boot system??
You do not need to do things like this just to open a file.
