opening/reading from a file

[b29hockey]

Hey guys, I cant get this file to open and Im not sure why. Any help would be appreciated

string fname, lname;
int month, day, year;
string text;
ifstream myfile ("president.txt");
myfile.open("/home/ohlone/Desktop/president.txt");
if (myfile.is_open())
{
while ( getline (myfile, text))
{
istringstream ss (text);
ss >> fname >> lname >> month >> day >> year;

cout << fname << "\t" << lname << "\t" << month << "\t" 
	<< day << "\t" << year << endl;
}
myfile.close();

}

else cout << "Unable to open file" << endl;

change lines 4 and 5 to these:

ifstream myfile;
myfile.open("president.txt");
