/usr/lib issue

I have accidentally deleted the folder /usr/lib, there is a way to reconfigure it? i can't run any application, just log in the terminal...

Re: /usr/lib issue

You are going to have to reinstall most of the packages. You can use pacman.static (pacman uses some libs from /usr/lib, so it won't run).

Re: /usr/lib issue

That's pretty bad -- almost all packages install something to /usr/lib.  The easiest thing for you might be, in fact, to backup your data and reinstall.  If you still have network connection you could try and reinstall all packages on your system, pacman.static should be working...
