help with programming?

[tyler]

Hay,
I have a question,
someone told me that linux's main library was gclib, I tried to find 
something, and got sourceforge. I didn't find any documentation on there, 
though I clicked the view documentation link a couple times.
Anyone know about some documentation on this thing?
Also, I assume that gcc is the default compiler on most linux systems, How 
would I include a library file with gcc? Also, would gcc be the same as g++?
Thanks,

Tyler Littlefield.

Actually, what you probably meant was Glibc. That standing for the GNU C Library, and its the library that all your programs get linked against. You can find more information about it at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.

I'm not sure what sort of programming you said you did, but C/C++ syntax is pretty compiler independent in terms of the standard stuff i.e., #include/#define/etc. If you are not currently 
familiar with the above, I'd suggest the Kernighan and Richy book on C as a nice starting point. Gcc and G++ are slightly different; Gcc is the regular C compiler, whereas G++ calls Gcc with 
the default language set to C++, as well as linking to the main C++ library by default. HTH.
