I'm having the same problem. I'm just starting to use Eclipse CDT and every time I make a change to my code and I want to rebuild it again I get the message: 
cannot open output file test01.exe: Permission denied	test01		 	C/C++ Problem

the problem is solved when I manually erase the exe file generated on the previous build from file system(workspace), only then, eclipse will be able to build the code again so I can see the new changes


any thought?
thanks

Maybe the process is still running? Can you look in the task manager?
