If you could provide the return-value of system, one could examine why the call is failing.

try:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(const int argc, const char* const* const argv) {
 int res;
 int err;
 res = system("split -l 50 -a 1 /absolutepath/sample.txt");
 fprintf(stdout,"execution returned %d.\n",res);
 if ((-1 != res) && (127 != res))
  fprintf(stdout,"now would be a good time to check out 'man split' to check what the resulting return-value (%d) means.\n",res);
 return res;
}
