Using a crate errors with "linking with cc failed", while building its source project succeeds

Question

I'm trying to import an external crate in a simple hello world application.

In the main.rs, it was wrote

use rustdds::*;
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

cargo build then errors with

user@xxx:~/Documents/dds_test:$ cargo build
   Compiling num-traits v0.2.14
   Compiling num-integer v0.1.44
   Compiling num-iter v0.1.42
   Compiling mio-extras v2.0.6
   Compiling rand v0.7.3
error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

I had already added the line rustdds = "0.4.8" below [dependencies] in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rustdds = "0.4.8"

How could this be fixed?

Btw, I checked my gcc --version and it was the latest version. I also tried to download the crate's source project and cargo build the downloaded project and everything was fine.

Figured out the reason finally that my Rust version was not the latest.

Solution is to update rustup, i.e.,

rustup update
