Wrong question ;-) Basically, what you want (and need) to know is "what do I want to use for C programming?" It wholly depends on what you want to do. About every library brings along a matching "-dev" package conteining the headers you need. So if you want to write GTK applications, install libgtk[version]-dev. If you want to do some stuff with OGG encoded audio, install libogg-dev and libvorbis-dev. You can get all this on a needed-basis. Everything you need to write simple console programs should be installed along with libc6-dev. Most (if not all) -dev packages come with documentation that conatins at least a pointer to further information about how to use the respective library. -- Embedded Linux -- True multitasking!
