deleted GLIBC

Hi everyone!
I did terrible thing... I had problems, error messages about ELF files which pointed me to reinstall glibc. After I forced delete of glibc Im unable to execute any program nor start operating system...
Im only able to use live cd of other distro... So, is here any kind for me to restore my OS, or should I reinstall?
Is it possible to recopy glibc from this live OS to my old OS on disk?
Im sorry but cannot describe this problem any deeper
Thanks for responses!

Re: deleted GLIBC

use the arch live cd, mount the root partition and do pacman -S glibc -r /path/to/mounted/root

Re: deleted GLIBC

did you do an update and your partition doesn't have any space free?

you actually need to reinstall the packages that own those files, start with the ones above.

Re: deleted GLIBC

hmm... reinstalling kdebase-runtime and  kdebindings-python fixed errors before confirmation of installation but problems related to ldconfig remains

so do for every file

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so

note the package that owns that. if nothing comes out install pkgtools, pkgfile -u, pkgfile /usr/lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so and reinstall it

Re: deleted GLIBC

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so
gives :
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so
so I install pkgtools, pkgfile -u updates fine but pkgfile -u, pkgfile /usr/lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so gives no output and error for that file still remains
