Maybe it's a silly hypothesis, but are you sure the file is in the current application directory?
On a POSIX system you can check it with:
if (access("pawn.png", F_OK) == 0) {
printf("File exists\n");
} else {
printf("File doesn't exist\n");
}
If it prints File doesn't exist, then you need to specify a full path to the file.
