I deleted the includes/src
folder to disable the compiler mode.
Then the site broke and all we can see is the following.
Warning: include_once(Varien/Autoload.php): failed to open stream: No

When we tried to run the compiler from the shell, the same errors. Uncommenting the include path in the config.php
file does not work either.
Can not log into admin. Same errors.

Somehow the folder lib/varien was not present. Copied it from a fresh Magento installation and everything worked.
