Hello,
I'm using Centos:
/proc/version = Linux version 2.6.18-128.el5 (mockbuild@builder16.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 10:44:23 EST 2009
I did a mistake and erased libc.a from /usr/lib
How can I recover it without reinstalling Centos ?
Thanks.

/usr/lib/libc.a is provided as part of the glibc-devel rpm.
If you merely erased the file with a rm command or something like that, you can probably just download the glibc-devel rpm from your friendly neighbourhood Centos mirror site, extract libc.a from it and copy it back into /usr/lib.
Or you could download the glibc-devel rpm and use the rpm command with the "--replacepkgs" directive to reinstall the whole rpm.
Either method should work.
