It seems it's compiled without support for any audio format. I gues that when you compiled it you didn't have -debv packages for mad, libitd3tag, libvorbis etc. The list of plugins to be build is displayed at the end of ./configure.

hay thanks thats worked :D and i can now veiw the files but i yet agian have issues with the sound drivers when i ALSA which i used to use for moc and installed the dmix plugin for no longer loads with moc i get
FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver
everytime OSS loads but doesnt play the file and null loads but it fails to make any sound when you play the file

oh ok it may be because of this when i looked at the code from when i compiled moc it said

MOC will be compiled with:
MP3: yes
OGG: no
FLAC: no
OSS: yes
ALSA: no
DEBUG: yes
ICONV: yes
SNDFILE: no

now how do i make it so that it is compiled with ALSA thanks

It's also caused by lack of a -dev packed, search for something like libalsa-dev in your distribution.
