gcc can't compile

Hello,i was trying to configure allegro(a game programming library) and i think i accidentally deleted /usr/bin/ld (at least there is no ld in /usr/bin) becouse gcc won't work anymore it always give the same error: collect2: cannot find `ld'
. Is there a way to fix this?, im using mandrake 10. I tryed to reinstall the gcc rpm but i have to uninstall a lot of thigs that depend of it. And im not sure if it will work.

ld is generally provided by the binutils package so you might want to try reinstalling that (I think there's a reinstall option in RPM so that you don't have to uninstall the current package first).

You shouldn't have to uninstall just to reinstall. If you are using rpm's you can always try rpm -Uvh packagename to update what you have, or rpm -F to freshen the files.
