Please, post some more information that might help in the process of troubleshooting.
i.e
What program are you running?
How are you running the program?:
  • show the full command you are invoking with its arguments
  • what's the name of the directory you are running the program from?
What is the output?:
  • if there are any errors/warnings, please post a representative, real portion of it; not a paraphrased version of it.
  • what it is doing that is not the desired outcome?
A copy and paste listing portion of the file names as given by the command ls, might be helpful; not a paraphrased version of it.
