I know that similar questions have been asked (error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1) and there is also an issue in the GitHub repo, but I could not figure out why this is happening in my case.
I get the following error when I am trying to run simple hello world program
username@computer:~/hello$ cargo run
Compiling hello v0.1.0 (file:///home/username/hello)
error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1

I have tried:
- Reinstalling Rust
- Checking whether GCC is installed (it is)
- Directly compiling the file via
rustc main.rs(same error)
It seems to be issue with the new Rust compiler. I am using rustc 1.29.1 (b801ae664 2018-09-20) on Linux mint 18.3 , Kernel version is
$ uname -a
Linux Computer 4.10.0-38-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 10 16:32:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
