First of all rerun ldconfig. (hint from 30 secs with google).


Have you tried running it? ld should work, and should return an error if
called with no arguments.

BTW, it doesn't say ld isn't there. It says collect2 can't find it.

It's always worth reading install docs too, where ld errors are
concerned as some things have issues with various flavours of ld. In
particular, they want to know if you're using GNU ld (You are).
