avm install latest error " Error: No such file or directory (os error 2))"

Similar issue to #3482

Here is the transcript

$ anchor --version
Error: Anchor version not set. Please run `avm use latest`.
$ avm use latest
Version 0.30.1 is not installed. Would you like to install? [y/n]
y
Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

I have done brew install rust before installing avm and anchor. Yet have this same message. It's opaque. Some script trying to find some directory; who knows what? which avm shows a binary. hard to figure-out where this is coming from.

The solution was to uninstall rust with brew and reinstall it with rustup.

$ brew uninstall rust
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Still. It looks to me like an issue.

This is not specific to avm e.g. you could get it even if you just install Solana tools and run carego build-sbf (#2831 (comment)). To improve the situation, we can look to see if you installed Rust properly (using the official installer) and provide a better error message if the Rust binaries are not found.
