Gee, you're brave! :-) On that note, one enhancement I'd like to see to rm is a --pretend option. -i isn't the same thing, I'd like rm to tell me "I'm about to delete the following: ...

Re: [gentoo-user] rebuild /usr/lib
Thanks for the advice folks. As it turned out I had enough of the lib left to keep some of the system running and I managed to copy over sufficient to get a working connection going then after much more thrashing of the head on desk it turned out that my backup was sufficient to get portage working pretty well phew I am now working on the --emptytree to restore everything properly. stu ps. tip of the day when spring cleaning your system watch out for those little typos that can ruin your summer :) pps.

If you have a working toolchain and python, then you can utilise emerge to rebuild the system. If not then you will need to acquire a binary gcc/etc to work around it. Then rebuild. emerge -e world At which point you should probably just go have a sleep. Good luck Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Ouch. Did you nuke python as well? If so, you are in deep shit and I would suggest you get some kind soul to tar.gz a working python for you that you can untar on your machine. You basically need a toolchain, portage, python and maybe a few other things installed and working so you can emerge -e world and fix everything in one 48 hour process. I wouldn't even try identify what is missing and what isn't, my system lists 35000+ files in /usr/lib, so rebuilding world is probably the least painful fix alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] rebuild /usr/lib
Hey folks, In advance I admit I have done a dumb! thing [by accident] I have managed to delete most of /usr/lib/ and my backup does not seem to be wholesome . Could someone suggest a method for rebuilding the libraries? I was thinking about a liveCD plus chroot but I would like some advice before i attempt it and waste a day. regards stu -- "There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, those who don't" --Unknown -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
