missing /usr/lib/ what can I do??!

Don't tell me how,But I accidentally deleted the /usr/lib/ folder...now every command I run obviously fails because some lib is missing...Is there a way I can recover the lib folder? apart reinstalling linux -.-

Apart from restoring your backup, obviously, you could try booting from an Arch install disc/usb and using the --dbpath and --root options of pacman to reinstall all the packages you've got in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/.

Edit: I've never done that. And you could also try some undelete utility, of course.

I'd also try reinstalling all packages from the live system.

This thread might help.
