I have rust installed and is ready to rock My file is hello_world.rs This is what happens: $ rustc hello_world.rs error: could not exec the linker cc: No such file or directory (os error 2) I have had issues all the way up to this one, and now am stumped. Any ideas?

Do you maybe need to install the build-essential package?

Thanks guys, Still had an issue trying to get build-essential in, but seems to work now.

Installation problem on Debian. cc linker
