Before stating the question, here's what I did and observed before the problem started:On a fedora 18 Xfce, I tried compiling 3.6.10 kernel with a cdv driver,After many attempts, it finally compiled without error, so I went ahead with make modules_install, and make install.Then I had to install couple of binaries from a few tarballs. Everything seemed fine till this moment. I could use firefox, vi in terminal, yum, rpm etc. commands.I installed binaries from few tarballs using tar xvf and a few files from these tarballs were moved to directories like /usr, /usr/lib. Even after this point, I remember using vi and rpm.Then finally I installed the last tarball using same tar xvf and it transferred few files to /lib, /lib/firmware etc. After the 5th step above, without doing anything else, I just tried opening one file using vi command and got following error:bash: /usr/bin/vi /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directoryI tried opening Firefox for solution, but it did not open. Fired few more commands from terminal but all the commands gave similar error. I checked few solutions that suggest installing glibc but neither yum works nor rpm. What might have gone wrong? How can it be fixed now when no command except cd is working, not even ls?Meanwhile the only other hiccup that happened was that I had for kill Firefox somewhere in between since the machine wasn't responding very well and some plugin in it was eating up resources.
None of the linux programs work except 'cd'
