prelink -av gives me:

prelink: Can't walk directory tree /usr/lib/: Too many levels of symbolic links

This has never happened before (and I didn't install much after last time I prelinked)
Any thoughts on what's going on ?

When I run prelink I do
prelink -amRv

could one of those options be doing it?

:(.

Code:
Too many levels of symbolic links

too many things in /usr/lib (symlink to /usr/lib64), or bad symlink?

I found that /usr/lib/lib was linking to itself. Removing it allowed prelink to finish.
