Try doing something like this
const char Logfile = '/usr/people/bob/APHOME/applogfile'
FILE *fp
remove("LogFile");
fp = fopen("LogFile", "w");
.
.
.
What it sounds like is that your #define isn't getting the entire path to
the file so it's just doing what it can with what it knows, which is the
directory where the program lives.
