[SOLVED] accidentally deleted curl, anyway to reinstall?

Question

I had some issues in curl and vmware player 5.0.1 in kernel 3.7.7-1, so I tried to remove curl (my bad, pacman -Rdd curl) and reinstall but reinstall fails
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Appreciate any advice on how can I reinstall curl.

Answer 1

are you pointing to any particular options in pacman.conf? pacman works on other packages (those non dependent on curl) when I put libcurl.so.4 from vmware directory to /usr/lib... but any curl dependent package upgrade fails with the following error
pacman -S curl
pacman: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libalpm.so.7)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (1): curl-7.29.0-2
