	libc is the standard C library on linux.  Almost all dynamically
linked code relies on it.  glibc is a newer version of libc (i.e. (libc >=
v2.0) == glibc).  The .so.somenumber means it is a particulat version of a
shared library.  For a discussion on shared libs etc.  read the archives
of linux-india-help.  There was a long discussion on it once.
