Don't "believe"; check. See what /lib/libc.so.6 is a symlink to. I don't run
RH so can't check this here.
How you compile depends on the package. It might be as simple as running
"make" in the directory that the source untars into. You might have to run
Configure first. Or something else; look for a file with the source called
README or INSTALL for instructions.
To run strace: "strace program_name" runs it. Handier is to do something
like "strace program_name 2>/tmp/some_file_name". This lets the command that
you put where I have "program_name" run more or less normally, writing its
output to the screen (STDOUT), but redirects STDERR (where strace puts its
output) to a file that you can examine later in a text processor.
For more detail, consult the appropriate man pages. I don't know if there
are any relevant HowTos.
