prebinding info damaged

today i typed the popular "optimisation hack" update_prebinding -root / into the terminal, and after it ran through, cocoa apps no longer work for some reason (the always immediatly return with an "unexpectly quit" dialog box). i guess that my prebinding information got corrupted. any idea how to fix this? i can't access the terminal (cocoa app), and trying to update the prebindings from single user mode didn't work as well (some error message about being unable to connect to a server). does anyone know where OS X stores its prebinding information (so i could go an wipe it out)?

any help appreciated,

Can you login as >console and run the update from there? If not, try running

Code: 
/sbin/mount -uw /

in single user prior to trying the update.
 
can't login as >consoloe (10.1 only lets me select users from the list, i could change that if preferences were working - but the preference pones seem to be cocoa modules). i did type /sbin/mount -uw / in single user mode, but it still doesn't work.
 
ok, problem solved. i think it wasn't the prebinding info, it was something related to my home directory. reinstalling the OS didn't help, so i had to dump my ~/Library .all my settings lost, but i can live with that.
