The fact that you can't open the output file possibly means you do not have write privileges into the \extern\examples\mex directory. You should copy the yprime.c file to a working directory that you do have write privileges in and then try the compile there. In fact, this should be a general advice for you ... don't alter anything in the original MATLAB directories.
