I'm not sure what your question is. XULRunner is the thing which provides
the gecko XPCOM components; how else would you get them?

I am sorry I did not mention the background of what I wished to do. I
basically
want my C++ program to accept URL from the user at the command prompt
and load the browser with the page displayed in it to the user. So, for this

Which browser? Are you implementing your own browser?

application I would only need to link to the XPCOM components by including
the
header files and linking to the libraries ...... right ? or would I still
require to use
the XULrunner to display the browser ? cant i not directly use XPCOM
standalone
components to load a browser ?

XULRunner is the thing which provides the XPCOM and gecko libraries. Please note that using the "xpcom libraries" by themself won't get you any of "gecko" (code like the networking engine, the rendering engine, etc).
