error: linker cc not found

Not confirmed yet · posted Oct 28

Cause

rustc links Linux targets through the system C compiler driver cc, and rustup ships no C toolchain, so a bare system or slim container has no cc to call.

Fix

risk: caution · installs apt:build-essential dnf:gcc apk:build-base · sudo — ask your user before running

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential   # Debian/Ubuntu: gcc, libc headers, ccsudo dnf install -y gcc                                          # Fedora/RHELapk add build-base                                               # Alpine, e.g. a Dockerfile RUN line

Don’t try

reinstall Rust with rustup — rustup installs rustc and cargo only; the linker driver comes from the system C toolchain.
