Boot from your OS X installation CD and run Disk Utility. Choose the Repair

That's only partially a good idea.
If you boot from the CD, the permissions are repaired based on the
packages in /Library/Packages *on the CD*.

If you still can boot on the drive, it's always a much better idea to
repair Permissions with DiskUtility from there since it will then use
the /Library/Packages folder from the hard drive with all the new
versions of .pkg as well as the .pkg from thirs party applications.

DiskUtility on the CD is great for repairing Directory damages
though.....
