i don't think you should move your /usr/lib directory to another partition other than the one it is at.. i could point out few possible reasons for the error. some how you changed the path of execution to the directory itself, the path is not set globally.. or you have not configured the boot process properly.. also look for a possible mount error as in maybe /usr/lib is mounted but does not have the right fs.
heres a site with a structured map of the filesystem heirarchy starting with root and working through boot down to the basic files found in /usr and var ... and so on (/usr/lib will be in there!).. it should give you a better idea on how to go about correcting the error without having to move the partion and will probably calrify why you shouldn't do this since you could malfunction something else..

ps . hope this helps


edit:
if you are to move your directory for space or lack of rather than move the whole directory to another partition.. create a directory in the other partion and link it (soft link)... that way you don't have to muck about with the built-in functions of the /usr environment..
