Cannot open BAM files with the SeqAn library

For some reason, I cannot open BAM files using the SeqAn library. While I try to open by executing the following code:

CharString bamFileName = getAbsolutePath("demos/tutorial/sam_and_bam_io/example.bam");

I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not open /home/omair/Programs/seqan/demos/tutorial/sam_and_bam_io/example.bam
cpp seqan bam sequencing
