ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pasteboard'

1

I've just installed rust on MacOS (intel) via

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

and I'm trying to compile an example program

fn main() {
  println!("Hello World!");
}

but rustc example.rs yields

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

Your C compiler installation seems to be messed up. cc points to an unusual location. On Unix-like systems, it's usually under /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, on macOS it might also be under /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin or /Applications/Xcode.app/…. It also seems to be replaced by a Python script. You'll need to fix your C toolchain.

That was it -- a python script in my PATH by the name of cc. Renamed that, works now, thanks!
