Try `ls -l /lib/libc*`

I got (amongst other libs):  

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1286208 Sep 9 13:48 /lib/libc-2.1.1.so* 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 10 01:14 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.1.so*

The top one is GNU libc (glibc) 2.1.1.  This should be installed by
default on a Helios system.

If you need to upgrade, I'm not sure what I'd suggest.  A lot of things
depend on a certain version of libc, and if you upgrade it without
upgrading those other programs, you may break things.
It may just be easier to upgrade your distribution version, if you don't
alreay have the correct version of glibc.
