You need to have a C compiler like gcc installed to act as the linker; Rust does not (yet) include its own linker.

If you mention what Linux distro you are on, I can give more specific instructions for how to install a C compiler.

Thanks for the answer! I installed the C compiler and the program was compiled.

i am new, i think rustc stand for rust compiler, and many of tutorials and articles i read do not require me to install any c compiler (or i miss it). So i have the same problem in opensuse, that solved by simply installing gcc. thank you.

Thanks a lots!
