these days there is possibly 2 compilers on your system:
gcc and egcs.
both able to compile C and C++ among other things, if these langages have
been installed for each of them. that means that you may have installed
only C for gcc and C, C++ for egcs, or the opposite ...
gcc is the stable C compiler
egcs is a developpment version (could mean less stable but i read
somewhere that it would merge with gcc again).
glibc is the library that every program uses (most system functions are
implemented in it), it will be used with both compilers.
i hope this will make things clearer for you, (i know it will not solve
your problem for the moment)
