[SOLVED] Accidently deleted /usr/bin/ld file

[gloomybear]

lol title says it all, im pretty new with using ubuntu and was messing around, I honestly dont reember what i was trying to do, but anyway, it ended up with me deleting the /usr/bin/ld file, it didnt really change anything and everything performed as normal untill i tried to compile some c++ code a few days later. now its giving me the error, collect2: cannot find 'ld', ive been searching all over looking for how I can get it back or reinstall it, seems no one else was dumb enough to do what i did lol, would really appreciate any help or suggestions thanks

forgot to mention, its not in the recycling bin because I override the file, then deleted it.... dont ask lol

/usr/bin/ld is part of the package "binutils".
Reinstall that package and ld is back
