Hi Jerry, ld (and also as) is part of the "binutils" package ("Devel" category in Cygwin's setup program), as can be seen here: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=binutils%2Fbinutils-2.20.51-2&grep=ld.exe You can use this page: http://www.cygwin.com/packages/ to search for the Cygwin package containing a particular file. I see that you have many "mingw" packages installed, including mingw-binutils (which has its own ld.exe), but that is for building non-Cygwin programs. For Cygwin programs (including compiled packages for Cygwin's Python), you need the "plain" binutils.
