I was attempting to update the C libraries on a linux box I was toying around with a few years back. Of course, it wouldn't install because the current libraries were in use. Without thinking, I renamed the old one and attempted the install again. Whoops. I hadn't considered that all of the command line tools are dynamically linked with that library. You know you're hosed when even 'ls' doesn't work.
In hindsight I could've just booted off a floppy and copied a proper version back over, but oh well.
