As far as I know, 'ld' is a program that links libraries to the binary executable.
When installing RH you need to select "Development" option when an installer asks you to select packets to be installed then. [Hm... not sure u understand me ))) Sorry]

Install the binutils package. No idea how you managed to not install it, but install the compiler.
