When trying to link using avr-gcc(cross-avr/gcc-4.4.1) or avr-ld(cross-avr/binutils-2.19.1-r1), i have this error message: /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/avr6.x: No such file or directory I've tried lot of different ways (using ld, or gcc, with different options..) and I always got this message. According to several howtos/pages on the web, my use of the toolchain is the 'usual way' and it seems to work for other. Here are some examples leading to this error: avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega2560 -Wstrict-prototypes -o project.elf /usr/avr/lib/avr6/crtm2560.o leds.o avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega2560 -o project.elf leds.o Oddly though, this one seems to work: avr-ld -o project.elf leds.o The missing file is actually installed as '/usr/lib/binutils/avr/2.19.1/ldscripts/avr6.x', i can open it with vim Reproducible: Always The layout seems strange to me, but i'm not familiar with gcc: % ll /usr/bin/avr-ld /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/avr/binutils-bin/2.19.1/ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-08-02 05:07 /usr/bin/avr-ld -> /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 2009-08-02 05:07 /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld -> /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/avr/binutils-bin/2.19.1/ld -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 460440 2009-08-02 05:07 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/avr/binutils-bin/2.19.1/ld (for my host compiler, thiss looks different :) % ll /usr/bin/ld /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-05-11 01:18 /usr/bin/ld -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-05-11 01:18 /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ld -> /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2009-05-11 01:18 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -> /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.19.1/ld
