Fix the 'linker cc not found' error on Linux by installing the build-essential package to provide the missing C compiler and linker.
The error occurs because your system is missing a C compiler and linker required to build Rust binaries. Install the necessary build tools using your package manager to resolve the issue.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
For other distributions, install GCC or Clang according to your system's documentation.
Rust needs a helper program called a linker to stitch your code together into a final application. This error means that helper is missing from your computer. Installing a standard C compiler package adds this missing tool, allowing your Rust projects to build successfully.
