Dear All
I am wondering if the folks here prefer the glib library that gnome uses
or the gnu glibc?

thanks

Sorry, but that looks like a question if you prefer bananas over
cars The glibc is the basic C library that comes with your compiler
(in case of GCC it's the GNU glibc, but when you use a different
compiler it might be a rather different one) while glib is the
library for Gnome. glib is rather unlikely to be able to do a
single thing without the underlying glibc. Don't get confused by
the similarity of the names;-)

Regards, Jens

GLib depends on glibc (or the system C library). It provides convenient
often used features like lists, stacks and so on. GLibc implements
functions specified by the C language and other standards like Single
Unix Specification, BSD, X/Open etc. They do different things and one
can't be used in place of the other.
