It's worth mentioning that you may already have them on your machine.  
You didn't mention what operating system you're using.  If you have a 
UNIX, BSD, or Linux operating system, you probably already have a C 
library and the headers.  It would be rare for a modern computer to be 
able to boot without at least the library.  Try typing "locate 
stdlib.h" at the command prompt.  If you don't have it, install the 
package that contains the headers.  If you're on OS X, install the SDK 
which comes with XCode.  If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio, it 
would have installed the C Run-time Library and headers already.

While I am very much a fan of the gnu project, I note that glibc does 
some things a little differently to other C library implementations.  
In order to keep my code portable, I have to avoid using certain glibc 
functions.
