Where is header Files

Your Linux distribution probably did come with a compiler; it just did
not get installed.  Oftentimes you can choose what type of installation
to do (e.g., workstation install, developer install, server install,
etc.), and the installer will just install the most commonly used
programs for that type of installation.  It probably works out that the
type of install that you selected didn't install development related
files.  It almost certainly didn't install everything on the CDs - that
almost never happens by default.  The fact that the glibc headers didn't
get installed while GCC did was probably an oversight on the part of
Connectiva.

Also, you tried to install glibc with the apt-get command you used, but
what you needed to try to install is glibc-devel.  Probably everything
you need is on your CDs.  You should get familiar with the CDs and how
your distribution handles software installation (for example, does it
use RPMs, Debian packages, etc.?).  Once you know that, you should be
able to find everything that you need to compiler programs for your
system on the CDs.

Good luck,
Lyle
