Unable to find the system utility "ld"; please make sure you have the package "binutilg" installed, if you do have binutils installed ,then please check that "ld" is in your path.

ld is a linker and is part of "binutils" , very much needed to build packages. No clue what binutilg is, hope thats a typo. try " rpm -q binutils " if its installed check your path, should be somewhere in /etc either profile, profile.env or whatever. Examine the files and look for "export PATH=....)" many distros handles these slightly differently.

If you setup linux correctly you should have binutils installed.

sometimes when you su you may not have access to the entire $PATH. login as root instead

greate thx.

what did you say "su - root "mean? I don't understand "su", what is it?

my english is poor.sorry.

I login as "root" .and now I installed linux8.0redhat. I can run maya under it now, but failed with opengl.

I think that's nv card driver problem. I downloaded the newest nv driver

.run file. but still failed to install.

the same problem. with erro on "ld".. sad!

su allows you to get access as a different user. so you can login to a normal account, and get root access in a terminal with "su - root" or just "su -".

did you check for binutils? here's a link to the package if you need it.

did the nvidia .run fail to install, or just doesnt work? you need to change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4). the .run file prints instructions, when it has installed.
