like  i said, i tried to build mplayer  before  and a whole lot of
problems. so i scrapped all of it and went a different way
here is the output you asked for..

-- [root at localhost Trash]# ls -la
total 24
drwx------  2 jim jim 4096 Dec 28 09:46 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 jim jim 4096 Jan  6 11:31 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 jim jim 1524 Jan  1 12:40 .directory
[root at localhost Trash]# pwd
/home/jim/Desktop/Trash
[root at localhost Trash]# rm *
rm: cannot lstat `*': No such file or directory
[root at localhost Trash]#
