I made a BIG mistake,
I removed /var/lib.

the machine is done

How can I reinstall it?

what do you imagine to "reinstall"
no way - /var/lib contains as example the complete RPM-database

In the past it was possible to recover the database with:
rpm --rebuilddb

Does it not work any more?

Thank.

As Reindl stated, your best (if not only) option is most likely a reinstall. Is there a compelling reason for you not to reinstall? Have you made extensive customizations to your installation? If not, just make a backup of your home folder and install a fresh copy.
