collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' when executing make install

Question

I am migrating an Oracle Database to Postgres and I wanted to install orafce which is a module that contains some useful function which can help with the porting.

I tried to execute the command "make install" but I got this error "collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'"

gcc version : 4.8.5 binutils version : 2.25.1

I didn't find anything that corresponds to my situation anywhere.

Thank you

Is there a command to know for sure? because I found an 'ld' link in /usr/bin — Massadi, Oct 03 '19 at 16:06
I've got permission denied when I typed it. I followed the link and found `ld.bfd` in /usr/bin. I executed ls -l and this is what I got `----------. 1 root root 873960 Nov 21 2017 ld.bfd` — Massadi, Oct 03 '19 at 16:17
Seems like your system is somewhat broken. Which operating system are you using anyway? — Laurenz Albe, Oct 03 '19 at 16:23

Your installation of binutils is broken.

Reinstall it with

yum reinstall binutils

You should figure out who changed the permissions. Maybe they did more damage than that.
