Sounds like they may be providing a broken installation of Julia, missing critical components like the lld linker. Try using the official binaries instead, that you can find at [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads/), or use juliaup to automatically manage multiple installations; [GitHub - JuliaLang/juliaup: Julia installer and version multiplexer](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup)
