Please help.
I have a full production server, and I haphazardly copied some code to install some other programs. Within that code was ln -f -s /lib/* /usr/lib/
ln -f -s /lib64/* /usr/lib64/Any way to repair without a fresh install?
My server takes a long time to shutdown, and it sometimes throws errors when installing contribs. Contribs install completely but not well-formed (invalid token) at line 372, column 26, byte 11463 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187
As always, any help is appreciated.

You should name and shame that code, so that. hopefully, you can prevent somebody else from making the same mistake.
Any way to repair without a fresh install?
Not easily. You can use 'rpm -qf /usr/lib64/*' to identify symlinks in /usr/lib64 which are not owned by an rpm. You could then remove those symlinks.
That said, I don't know that those extra symlinks would cause any of your various problems.
